Is my computer being bottled necked by GPU or something else?

[Ventus]

Okay, I built my computer last year and I've had a few Graphics cards upgrades since then, and with the lastest one I've seen that much of a upgrade and most games are running at quite low fps like around 30+ nowhere near 60.

Anyways my specs are as follow-

MB - Asus M5A78-m LX PLUS
Chipset - AMD 760G(780L)/SB710
CPU - AMD Athlon II X2 260 3.20ghz (AM3+)
RAM - 4.00GB
Graphics - EVGA Nividia GT 630 DDR3 1.00GB
Sound - ACL887 8-channle HD (realtek)
LAN - Realtek 8111e Gigabit LAN
DVD/RW - Liteon External USB drive
HDD - 500GB Seagate
OS - Windows 7 Home Premuim x64
PSU - 650 Watt Dell PSU

Now the card is in question is the GT 630 and I'm wondering is it dragging my computer down? and should I upgrade the card?

If I have to upgrade the card I've been looking at this one http://www.walmart.com/ip/PNY-Technologies-GeForce-GTX650TI-1024MB/26504642

Would that be a better card for my system? and also should I upgrade anything else in the future?

CPU and GPU are both dated.

Alright, so far I see that the CPU is a little out of date and the GPU is pretty old.
What would be a good upgrade for the CPU? and I've heard that the GTX 650 Ti is still good for current games.

 

[huilun02]

What's good depends on what games you play and at what resolution.

 

[Ventus]

Well I've been wanting to play Skyrim and GTA 4, and a few other games along the line and at the resolution of 1440x900.
And I'm hoping for some decent fps like around 40 and above.

Your 650W PSU should run them fine.

Okay thanks, I'll look into the CPU first, and since its a FM2 CPU I'll either see about finding the best AM3 Cpu or invest in a New MB.
But the new MB might not be a bad idea since my am3 board I guess is pretty much obsolete.

I don't know I might just invest in the graphics card first for the time being. Thanks

 

[huilun02]

Your motherboard is fine, and will accept the FX 6300.

Changing motherboard is expensive as you have to get a new copy of Windows as well.

 

[Ventus]

Ah seems it can, so I'll stick with my current MB and invest in the CPU first. then the GPU.
Though I completely forgot about the FX support on this MB, hell this will save some money on upgrading the MB.

Thanks again.

How about this CPU

Its a AMD FX 4 Core Black Edition FX-4300 and my MB supports it just fine.

And what about this Graphics card?

[huilun02]

That CPU, no.

You can get a better graphics card for less than $105

Alright what about this CPU
http://www.amazon.com/AMD-FD6300WMHKBOX-FX-6300-6-Core-Processor/dp/B009O7YORK/ref=sr_1_1?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1387902158&sr=1-1

And this Graphics card
http://www.walmart.com/ip/Diamond-Multimedia-Radeon-HD7770-PCI-E-1GB-GDDR5-Video-Graphics-Card/24955428

And I'm don't mean to seem like I'm shooting down all the hardware you are posting, its just I can only buy parts from amazon and walmart.

 

[huilun02]

Might as well get a better graphics card form Amazon for a bit less

Alright that'll do then, now to get the money up for the upgrades. Thanks for all the help
