Like CookieTheLabrador said, it really depends on how much you have to spend. Knowing that will better help us help you decide what parts you should go for.

You need to get up to 8GB and get a 970/1060/RX 480, you could wait till the 1060 comes out.

A SSD will boost your performance a lot. All after what you need tho

Is this a budget upgrade ?! If so , just switch to the red team ( AMD )  , The RX 480 is pretty good but it does have the PICe power traw issue .  Well it use too...

I can't really recommend the 970 as of now.

Wait for 1060 or get RX 480.

450W might work but for peace of mind I would consider getting a more reliable PSU first before upgrading anything else.

1) Change the PSU to something above Tier 4

2) Try getting a 970 at least

3) Try getting 8GB of RAM ASAP

4) For the SSD, get OCZ or Samsung

on 3 or 4 month maybe i can change the PSU or RAM, i want change my 450w thermaltake litepower with some 600W ~ 650W PSU, is it too much or not ?, and which one is more important first ?, a Faster DDR3 RAM ? or a bigger PSU ?
