Hello, I have an AMD Athlon(tm) X4 750K Quad Core Processor, 4GB DDR3 RAM, 64 Bit OS
My Graphics Card is "NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GS". I was wondering if getting 16GB DDR3 RAM or an "AMD Radeon HD 7870 2 GB GDDR5" Graphics card would improve my Frames per Second (FPS) in PC Games like Far Cry 3 and The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim
 
Solution
upgrading the gpu is most important in gaming. get the Radeon HD 7870 2 GB. than later upgrade the ram. but an athlon x4 would bottleneck abit but nothing to serious. you will find 70-80-100-200fps difference in most games.

Work on getting a 7870, then add 4gb of ram, then get an i5 w/ a new motherboard or fx 8XXX series with a new motherboard as well.
