Planning to upgrade PC - any easy/obvious wins?

[tim.strange1]

Hey guys - I'm planning to upgrade my PC in the long run but for the time being I'm trying to work out if upgrading any current (and quite dated) components would provide a meaningful boost? I love the Total War series so improving performance for those games is my goal.

COOLERMASTER ELITE 430 MIDI CASE

NOV-PSG600 NOVATECH POWERSTATION GAMING 600W SILENT ATX2 MODULAR POWER SUPPLY

AMD-P2965 AMD QUAD CORE PHENOM II X4 965 BLACK EDITION 3.4GHZ SOCKET AM3

MSI-970G46 MSI 970A-G46 AMD 970 (SOCKET AM3+) MOTHERBOARD

ARC-F12 ARCTIC F HIGH PERFORMANCE CASE FAN - 120MM

SG-15DL003SEA GATE BARRACUDA GREEN 1.5TB 64MB CACHE HARD DRIVE SATA 6GB/S 12MS 5900RPM - OEM

SAN-SSD128 SANDISK SSD SATA III 2.5" 128GB SOLID STATE HARD DRIVE

CRU-BS8G16 CRUCIAL BALLISTIX SPORT 8GB (2X4GB) DDR3 PC3-12800 C9 1600MHZ DUAL CHANNEL KIT

Raedon HD 6870 2gb Graphics Card

I'm a bit of an amateur at this, so any advice would be huge!

Cheers!

Maybe a combo of mother/cpu and rams.
That will give you a better base where you can add a gpu later.
Buying just a nvidia 1050 also would improve your gaming. I used to have that processor and it still can face mild gaming. Idk if the newest of the total war series because they r so cpu dependent
