Oh wow, first of all, thanks for all the replies, really helpful! Sorry if i missed a few info hehe, i do have 4gb of RAM, i'm running on Windows 7 Pro 64-bit and i run in 1920x1080 resolution.
And to Solaris17, thanks for the suggestions. I do have a few concerns about them though. I have had some pretty bad experiences with Asus motherboards in the past and i'm not sure i am willing to try my luck once again. Honestly, i would rather go with Gigabyte since i've never had any problems related to their motherboards. But if anyone has some suggestions for motherboards i'm all ears. Second, i prefer Corsair memory even though they are more expensive, it always has been good to me.
Personally, when i do upgrade to a new rig i will probably try to get the best stuff at reasonable pricing of course. It's not really an emergency to upgrade, my computer is still running games pretty good although sometimes not at maximum (like Metro 2033 or Crysis 1&2 for example), i just felt like looking into upgrades. As someone else said, it'd be more cost effective to save up for the best new rig possible.
Finally, as for my budget for a new video card i would say between the 200$-300$ mark.
The C2Q CPU is fine so long as you put a max OC on it so if you don't have a good aftermarket CPU cooler I suggest the Cooler Master Hyper 212+. You already have enough ram for now so just OC you're CPU if you havent already and spend you're money towards a good GPU and you're budget will be good for a nice card like 7870, 660ti, or 7950.
