Without knowing anything about your current computer or what types of games you wish to run, it's virtually impossible to give any advice on what to upgrade.

My advice, however, is to simply build a new PC from scratch, mid-range components aren't that expensive and you will get a very noticeable performance boost, rather than trying to mix and match bits from your current PC and only getting slight performance gains.

Most importantly, though, we need to know your budget. How much would be your limit?
