If you want to improve your gaming performance the graphics card should be a first.

If you have to do it periodically, go GPU, CPU / MOBO then RAM but it'd be a better idea to wait till you have the funds and buy it in one fell swoop.

Isn't it worth just upgrading this one?

No, if you wait 3 months (or even 2 months) you will have the money for a brand new PC that will blow this one out of the water, unless you only want to only spend 300$

Personally.....I went from a pentium with a 550ti to a 4670k with a 550ti, and i got a better performance upgrade then if i was to just upgrade the gpu. so if you still plan on using the system while you upgrade it, (providing your motherboard will supprot the cpu you plan to get) get the cpu + ram combo. and then get a high end GPU and SSD last.

Check your power supply first, if its really bad it might blow up so heads up. What is the model of your psu?

So... If Jesus had the gold, would he buy himself out instead of waiting 3 days for the respawn?

CPU: Phenom II x6 1045t ][ GPU: GeForce 9600GT 512mb DDR3 ][ Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-MA770T-UD3P ][ RAM: 2x4GB Kingston 1333MHz CL9 DDR3 ][ HDD: Western Digital Green 2TB ][ PSU: Chieftec 500AB A ][ Case: No-name without airflow or dust filters Budget saved for an upgrade so far: 2400PLN (600€) - Initial 2800PLN (700€) - Upgraded already: CPU

Psu is the most important thing because if it dies everything else dies.

Gpu is second because with a bad gpu you can't game at acceptable fps

Cpu is next because that has to do some of the work and keep up with the gpu 

Rig Specs:

AMD Threadripper 5990WX@4.8Ghz

Asus Zenith III Extreme

Asrock OC Formula 7970XTX Quadfire

G.Skill Ripheartout X OC 7000Mhz C28 DDR5 4X16GB

CPU, GPU and PSU. You want a good CPU and GPU for getting the most of out of your games and a good PSU so it doesn't kill any of your parts if it breaks.

Setup: i5 4670k @ 4.2 Ghz, Corsair H100i Cooler, Corsair Vengeance Pro 16GB Ram @ 1600 Mhz, MSI Z87-GD65 Motherboard, Corsair GS700 2013 edition PSU, MSI GTX 770 Lightning, Samsung EVO 120 SSD + 2TB&1TB Seagate Barracudas, BenQ XL2411T Monitor, Sennheiser HD 598 Headphones + AntLion ModMic 4.0

Open your case and check inside what is the model of your psu or make a photo of it.

Well, Ok....fuck cpu - fuck GPU....you need a whole new build. If you have a pc which is running a dell psu, then good chance is you will need an enitre new rig

If you already bought GPU, what did you buy exactly?

I'd get something like corsair cx 500w depending where are you shopping, i can help you find a good power supply just link me to the store page.
