I'd like to replace a few parts on my computer.
But I'm not sure which parts to upgrade first, I'd like an SSD first, then RAM then CPU.
(I'm trying to make it... Great.) What do you think?

CPU: Intel i7-920 @ 3.1GHz
GPU: Nvidia Pony GTX 660Ti
RAM: 6GB Kingston
Storage: 1.2TB HDD (VERRRY SLOW)
 
Solution
AMD Radeon
yes SSD

and for ram, you have to buy triple channel ram, which is only suitable for 1366 socket

if you want to buy new cpu/mobo, you need dual channel ram

Look if you want to upgrade

1] your CPU then you might have to upgrade your motherboard TOO since your cpu is old and socket is 1366 and the newer cpu's support other sockets

2] your GPU to higher end card then you might have to overclock your CPU to make most out of that card your upgrading to

3] your RAM then it depends on your usage and socket

4] your storage then get an SSD and a new HDD.

As u have i7 processor @ 3.1ghz it can still handle an ssd and ram upgrade ...
So,u should go with ssd first ,this will be the cheapest but masive performance upgrade,after that if u have some budget let go with an dual channel Ram kit...this should improve ur system throughput..i dont think after all this performance improvement u will think for an cpu upgrade,as overclocking can be an better solution and will still handle ur gpu till the hype.even though if u still want an upgrade u may go with cpu upgrade as u will also need to upgrade ur motherboard for this ..
