Will this computer be good for gaming?

[jaguarmatt]

I'm currently building a new computer to replace my Optiplex GX270 custom. (Old, I know)

What I currently have:

CPU- Athlon II X4 630 @ 2.8GHZ (stock cooler, 55c @ 100%)
GPU- GTX 460 1gb (came off an Alienware)
PSU- Rocketfish Gaming 500watt continuous, 600 peak (80% eff.)
Mobo- Violet6
Ram- 2gb x3 (single channel, 10600)
HDD- 5400rpm WD 1tb


Would it be worth getting another 2gb ram for dual channeling, or won't it increase performance much?
Will my CPU and GPU work together for DX-11, or will there be stuttering in games?
Does my PSU have enough power for my system at peak performance?

If you have any suggestions let me know.

Thanks in advance!

getting 4gb of ram would be a good upgrade but u have to check that the extra stick has the same timings, voltages etc. otherwise u might run into problems. 5400rpm HDD is also very slow, you'll see a performance boost if u get even just a 7200rpm HDD like the Samsung Spinpoint F3 or a WD Caviar Black.

I wanted to get an SSD for my OS and all the games/apps I use the most, good idea?
I currently have 6gb of ram, I wanted to know if I should upgrade to 8gb for dual-channeling.

Also, my resolution is 1920x1080.

100% support getting an SSD.
Are all modules of your 6gb ram identical? I'm not a fan of mixing and matching. In your system 4gb is more than enough for everyday usage, so going from 6-8 wont make any difference.
