What Upgrades Do I Need For Current Gaming? (Fallout 4, Need For Speed, etc.)

[cusconillow]

Hello everyone! I've built a system (my first) and gradually upgraded it over time to run newer games and I've realized I need to do that now for the next wave of games.

I currently play GTA V and The Witcher 3 on a triple-monitor 1080p eyefinity setup.
Both of the games' requirments can be found here and here.

I want to play Fallout 4 (Requirements), Need For Speed, The Division (Rumored Requirements), and Rainbow Six Siege (Requirements), and maybe a little bit of the 9000 new Assassin's Creed games.
I'm mostly going to be playing Fallout 4 (Like probably almost exclusively) and when the modding community gets active on it, I'm sure I'll probably use the quality mods like improved textures and optimization mods and such. There will likely be a lot of scripts involved in the Fallout 4 mods when they come out - which I'm assuming will really put a stress on the CPU and RAM but I'm not positive as to what parts processes scripts.

Here are my current specs:
Motherboard: MSI Z87-G41 PC MATE Z87 1150 RT
Processor: Intel i5 4690
Memory: Corsair XMS3 6GB 1600
Power Supply: Old Thermaltake 600W made before the efficiency ratings (Needs to be upgraded)
Graphics Card: Sapphire Radeon HD 7950 Dual X 3GB
Hard Drive: Don't have the model with me at the moment but it is a hard disk, not an SSD. Do I really need an SSD?

I do not overclock anything, mostly because I don't know enough about it, and I'm not sure that I want to.

I need to know which parts need to be upgraded most (I'm thinking the GPU, RAM, and Power Supply) and suggestions for what parts I should use to replace them.

Finally, one thing I'm worried about is that everyone says nVidia/Intel-based GPUs are better all-in-all that Radeons but Radeon cards seem to have better stats and they tend to be cheaper.

Thank you everyone!!

And Corsair Vengeance is good stuff, that's what I was running before my last upgrade.

With Newegg you can return it within 30 days for refund, so it's worth a shot. At worst you'll have to use the old RAM until you can get a new pair of sticks that work.

Full refund even if you take it out of the package to test it?

Unless the item is defective, I believe they charge a 15% restocking fee, which is industry standard pretty much.

A lot of the mem listed is what they used there are a lot of mem that you can use that's not listed as well yes 1500 pretty much the standard for intel and yes you can OC it in the bios but normal setup sets it at 1600 so you list you mention yes pretty much works I like gskil its always worked for me but I have bought just about everything under the sun over the years.
