I'm on a really low budget and i want to upgrade my gaming experience.
I will be able to upgrade hardware a single piece at a time.
i would like to run warthunder better. (also would like to know how much i need to upgrade to run total war atila or warhammer [i realize it's a lot])

Mainboard-Gigabyte EP43T-UD3L
CPU-Intel core 2 Quad Q9300
RAM-4GB DDR3
GPU-ATI Radeon HD 4350
I don't know if this is enough info, i'm a fast learner but still a noob on hardware. Thank you very much!

If you upgrade the cpu first you won't notice a difference with your graphics card as its old enough to run on that cpu. If you upgrade your graphics card but not your cpu then you will bottleneck pretty hard and get stutter and frame drops. The best thing to do is upgrade both but that will mean changing the motherboard too. Wait until you have enough money to do it.
