Your NO1 bottleneck would be the ram. Does all your ram has same bus speed? Because if you have one ram of 1033 bus and another of 667 bus in a pc, both of them will operate at 667. In my opinion, don't stick in ram like this(1GB, 1GB, 2GB....). They don't really work best together. Always try to match ram of same spec. Like same 2*2GB=4GB kit.

Also the motherboard is way outdated. I wonder if it has PCIe 1.1?

For your next build upgrade your ram (4GB*2=8 GB of 1600 or higher bus). Also you said only the 660 is going to stay. Then consider a better cpu AND a good mobo.
