I'm having issues running games, Star Ware The Old Republic at the moment. I can run the game, setting are low but when I try to go into a busy area or battle it's super jumpy and jittery. Can I upgrade my video card and/or processor? What do you suggest??

Operating System: Windows 7 Professional 32-bit SP1
CPU: AMD Phenom II X4 965 Deneb 45nm Technology
RAM: 16.0GB Dual-Channel DDR3 @ 668MHz (9-9-9-24)
Motherboard: Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd. GA-880GA-UD3H (Socket M2)
Graphics: SyncMaster (1600x1200@60Hz)
1024MB ATI AMD Radeon HD 6800 Series (MSI)
Hard Drives: 932GB SAMSUNG HD103SI ATA Device (SATA)
Optical Drives: HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GH22NS50 ATA Device

Thanks in advance,
Jeff

Are you sure its an M2 socket? I cant find an m2 version on the gigabyte website.

Download and run this tool, it should give you a full accurate read of your system specs.

It opens the result in a local web page so your system remains private.

The 32bit OS is certainly harmful to performance of your system, 3/4 of whats in it isn't being used. As for the video card, that card should be more than capable of running it. Although an upgrade cant hurt providing its compatible. It would be helpful to know which of the two cards in the series it is, again belarc should tell you. But both should be more than capable.
