Which one should i upgrade first [Gaming PC]

[saster_182]

HI all, i just want some suggestion, what components should i upgrade first for gaming pc. Currently, my rig setup is like this

AMD x4 955 be oc to 3.6GHz CPU
M4ATD785M-Evo Motherboard
HD6950 2Gb GPU
4Gb x 2 DDR3 Ram

driver of gpu already update to the latest, motherboard bios also flashed to the latest. But when im playing some decent games, such as Batman, sometimes it stop/lag when teleporting/enter building. Compared to my notebook [i5-2430 with GT540M 1Gb] which no such problem when playing same game.

Hopefully can guide/suggest me. Thanks.

Your components all look quite well balanced and I can't see anything that would be causing a bottleneck or in game lag.

When entering a building the game is most likely having to load that next section of the game/map which is why there's a very slight delay. Haven't had much chance to game recently, but a faster HDD or SSD would most likely minimise or even eliminate this loading issue.

As for upgrades, it really depends how much you have to spend.

If your PSU/Mobo can handle it, a second 6950 might be a worthwhile option. Other than that, possibly a shift over to Intel - save your money for a little while longer and see what Intel has to offer with IvyBridge.

No real worthy hardware update at this point with your current specs
Well...SSD is worth considering if you do not have any

The only worthy update you can get right now is:
i7 3930 + X79...but from the price point of view...nope!!

I agree with guanyu210379...not worth upgarding anything atm besides maybe getting a SSD...i believe their prices are going to drop soonish.
