Hi, I am currently looking forward to update my hardwaret. $600 canadian dollars will be my budget. I'm planning on keep using my graphic card (GTX660), memory(2 4G). I got the disc for operating system, so no worry for the OS. Yeah so this is basically it. Could some one please offer me some advice. I really appreaciated it. Thanks!

What are the full specs of the system you currently have? Depending on that, you might be better off getting a new GPU. Graphics card is more important than CPU, as long as the CPU is not a bottleneck.
Yeah, but my system is pretty old, for almost 5 years already. And it runs really slow now....
I bought a pre-made system: acer Aspire M5811 4 or 5 years ago and I upgraded the memory and the graphic card. The CPU on this PC is Intel i3 530@2.93 Ghz. Hard drive is WD green 1T. And my power supply is 500W
I'm a newb in hardware... is my cpu a bottleneck?

Yea, that CPU would be a bottleneck. Just wanted to make sure. Far too often, I see people on here with i5 2xxx, or 3xxx, and they think they need a new CPU.
