Motherboard -Intel H55 chipset based (H55M-E23)

GFX -Nvivia GeForce GTX 460

CPU -Intel Core i5 CPU 650 @ 3.20GHz

RAM -2 x 2gig

PSU -HEC 500 WATT PSU 24PIN A/S 500TN-2WX

I realize I need more RAM. I'm getting 2x 4gig in this upgrade. What is the next logical step? My budget is R3000 (around $300.00 US Dollars)

Next upgrade I think should be a graphics card. You could get a GTX 660ti with that budget, and its far more powerful than what you have now. But I would suggest waiting a bit, the GTX 760ti is due out before too long.

A 760Ti and a i5-650 = CPU bottleneck. I think the Rig itself should be upgraded.

True.. but barring the full upgrade.. maybe a GTX 660 (non-ti) would be a good budget upgrade, seeing as that's only about $200.

Actually forgot about the BOOST. Very, Very close to a non-ti 660 in performance for cheaper.
