Upgrade Advice Wanted!

[DebatED Nothing]

Hello, I'm not very well knowledged about PCs when it comes to performance, value and so on, so I could do with some advice on upgrading my PC in the near future. My current set up is detailed in this parts list (http://pcpartpicker.com/p/cgDYsY) however there are a few incorrect components due to PC part picker not having some of my parts: My motherboard is actually a Gigabyte GA-FXA990-D3 (as opposed to the -UD3 in the list) and I'm not sure that the GPU is the exact model of GTX 770 I have, which is an EVGA GTX 770 with 1.11 GHz base clock, 2 GB ram etc (I think it's the one listed, but it's at least very similar).

 

Anyway, my question basically is: should I upgrade a single key component like the GPU, or would I be better off saving up a bit longer and doing a new build using only a few of my current components? I say this because basically most of the components are pretty poor, and the build wasn't well conceived (for example my RAM underclocks to ~1200 MHz for some reason from 1600MHz) so it could be that any upgrade now will be limited by everything else. Any thoughts? Thanks in advance!

Have you gone into the BIOS to change your RAM settings?

Are you having trouble running things now? The 770 should still be decent for gaming at 1080p.

You would without a doubt get more performance from upgrading, but it all comes down to budget. How much would you spend if you saved up for a new rig?

I'd wait, personally, unless you have trouble playing the things you want at the settings you'd like.
If you go the upgrade route, it all depends on budget, which you haven't given us

I did once try to fix the RAM issues, and it blue screened immediately. I do reasonably well in most games, but I struggle on certain maps in Insurgency, and that's on medium/low settings. Realistically, being a student, I'm probably just going to have to deal with it for a while and maybe carry on trading up the second hand tree with my friends in the mean time (I started with a Radeon HD 7850, which, yes, does mean I spent -more- on CPU than GPU in a gaming build, but I sold that to a friend fairly quickly, after realising it was trash.)
