your cpu is weak...it is for sure....but i don't think it will be bottlenecking your hd 4670.....and about adding ram...it depends on your mb configuration if it allows more than 4 gigs than definitely you can add it to your system...

What i had in mind was a amd athlon x4 630 and 6 gigs ram with a gpu cooler to overclock the card further.Will that work.My resolution is 1024x786

Hey if your resolution is 1024x786 than i don't think there is any need to over-clock anything to play games...as hd 4670 is strong enough for this resolution games...

All of the above. You can either overclock your cpu, or get a newer one on newegg for cheap. Your rig seems to be well balanced already, so if you were to upgrade, you would need to upgrade all of it to keep it balanced. More than 4 gigs won't help you much with games.
