What Should I Upgrade? (if anything)

[SinisterMessiah]

So I've had my rig for about a year and a half which may be a record for me. With some hot new titles coming out this fall, I might be looking to upgrade. I've thought about doing a completely new build, but if I can get away with an upgrade that would be my preference. I feel like this rig is still serviceable as it still runs whatever I throw at it without very many hitches at all. I just don't know how it will handle upcoming titles like BF3 or Skyrim.

Not sure if I really set myself up with the right motherboard for adequate crossfire or SLI option but I prefer single card applications anyway if it came down to upgrading the video card.

Upgrading the RAM is probably a no-brainer since I can get another 4 gigs of the same for around $35 now.

Here is my rig as it stands now:

4GB RAM should be just fine. I would recommend waiting for the games to actually come out, see if you're happy with the performance, and upgrade then if you must. This way you'll know and not be guessing, plus prices will likely be lower, might even catch a good black friday sale or something
