Need help upgrading my pc

[Skids]

Hello everyone.

As the title says I'm looking to upgrade some parts of my old pc and I really do not know where should i begin, so I thought I'd as you computer masterminds


Here is my pc specs:

GA-X58A-UD5 (rev. 2.0) (http://www.gigabyte.com/products/pro...px?pid=3450#ov) - Motherboard
Gigabyte GTX 480 (http://www.gigabyte.com/products/pro...px?pid=3398#ov) - GPU
i7 i7-920 2.66GHz Socket 1366 box - CPU
Corsair 3x2048MB DDR3 1333MHz Triple Channel - Memory
Hard disk Western Digital 500GB SATA-II 7200 rpm 32MB Caviar Black X 2 - HDD
Hard disk Western Digital 1TB SATA-II 7200 rpm 32MB Caviar Black X 1 - HDD
Cooler Master GX-750W - Power supply
Coolers Master Haf X Case.

If you would be so kind to point out what do you think I should start the upgrades with. I must say that I mainly use the pc for games, streaming ( in the near future).

Thank you for taking the time to read this and maybe give me some pointers.
Cheers.

Only thing you can upgrade is your gfx card and ad an SSD.

So that's it? I was thinking of changing the memory also? Or is that an overkill?

That alone won't accomplish much. You can upgrade GPU, it would help in GPU-heavy games, but then CPU would become serious bottleneck. For balanced performance you would have to upgrade CPU, motherboard, ram and GPU.
