atm im running a q9450 @3.6 ghz with 4 gigs of 1066mhz ddr2 ram with a ati radeon 4890hd .. im tempted to upgrade but im unsure if i would get any real performance gains from upgrading the cpu?

i game at 1920 x 1080, is my graphics card still adequate for most games out atm?

the only thing it struggles on is gta IV and i think thats because of the video ram on the card.

yeah its a 1gb card. i dont really think i need to upgrade anything i just get bored quite easily with what i have.
