Is how much fps on your system defined by the processor or by RAM and graphics card? Because im going to be buying a new graphics card and RAM and i want to know whether or not ill get better FPS.

Processor - Intel Pentium D duel core 3.00. GHz clock speed

Graphics card - ATI HD 5450 2GB

RAM - 4GB (3.25 available) DDR2

What should i upgrade to get better fps, processor or ram and graphics card? - i will be upgrading all eventually just don't have the money at the moment. Thanks.

It's a tough question to answer with important variables.

But generally speaking it's gpu>cpu>memory.

On the other hand if you have a powerful gpu and a weak cpu, then your cpu will have hard time to answer your gpu's speed which means a bottleneck. So your specs should be in balance.

But upgrading your gpu will give more noticeable performance increase at the moment. Then you can upgrade to a better cpu-motherboard-memory trio when you have the budget. But still your cpu is not powerful to run the most demanding cpu intesive games like Battlefield 4 or Crysis 3.

Also you need to switch to 64bit operating system to fully utilize your 4GB (or more) memory.

All of them, Your system is pretty out dated. Most likely if you upgrade one part your machine with get bottlenecked by another.
