Upgrading computer

It's been a while since i've upgraded my computer.

These are my current settings:

PHENOM X4 955 3.2ghz
MSI mobo : http://www.msi.com/product/mb/870S-G46.html
8gb ram @ 1333mhz
and a crappy gpu because my old one broke, i now have a geforce 210

I've got about 800 to upgrade my computer.

This is what im thinking of getting:

This week:

- Gtx 660 by MSi
- 16gb ram (2x8) G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) 240-Pin DDR3

Why? because those are the lightest parts and im having them shipped to my country, shipping here is very expensive.

and in two or 3 months when I'm in the US:

AMD FX 8350 4GHz - 4.2GHz Turbo
and
Asus SABERTOOTH 990FX R2.0 ATX AM3+ Motherboard


What do you guys think?

Good enough... but do you really need that much of the memory? you should try and get HD 7870 or GTX 660 Ti... also what is your PSU?

It's a 600w kinda generic-ish psu, it's been good to me, I was under the impression the Ti version wasn't worth the extra bucks? Also, I'm buying the ram because my current sticks are a generic brand :C

thanks for replying

8 GB is really enough IMHO, g.skill/kingston/corsair
i suggest changing the PSU also... to something like this

HD 7870 XT will be a good choice then... or just stick with your choice will be good too...
