Well at the moment im running 6gb of RAM, a GTX560Ti Graphics Card and an AMD Athlon 7550 Dual-Core Processor. I know the basics but im new to all this so it would be nice for somone to help me out. Im guessin i might need a new proccessor but whatever you guys think.|||Yes the CPU is the weak link in your hardware. You will need to buy a new motherboard for a modern fast processor.
Recommend getting a Phenom II x4 965 Black edition CPU if your keeping to an AMD motherboard. It uses the AM3 socket. This runs at 3.4GHz but has unlocked multiplier and will easily overclock to 3.8Ghz and higher. Make sure you get a decent cooler like arctic freezer pro or a model from scythe if you think you may overclock as stock AMD cooler won't cope with extra heat.
The 6GB RAM is fine and the Nvidia GTX560ti is fine for modern games at high details [not sure about "ultra" settings].
The Nvidia GTX560Ti may be able to play some modern games at very high settings and it will play almost anything at medium/high but if you want "ultra" settings in every game and have the money the Nvidia GTX570 or Radeon HD 6990 are the cards to consider. The extra performance is not worth the outlay in my opinion, so i'd recommend you just upgrade the mobo and cpu.
If you are going to change your motherboard to an Intel compatible socket and CPU then get an Intel i5 2500k, which can also overclock easily, if you like tweaking.|||Run this: http://www.systemrequirementslab.com/ref…
