Re: Need help with a computer upgrade

Your system right now is well balanced. A CPU upgrade won't be of much benefit to you. You can upgrade the video card, but you will start to run into a bottleneck due to how low clocked your Q6600 compared to say a Q9650 (3GHz vs 2.4GHz). I am pretty certain your current rig will be playable with the game. Not on the higher settings, but a mix of low/med most likely.
I think you maybe best off saving an additional $500 to upgrade your whole computer. You could aim to get a Haswell (next generation Intel CPU) system come next Spring along with a better card as well due to next gen being out by then.
If you must upgrade now I would probably wait for the 660 Ti to be released and get a new PSU with that. Then possibly get a new CPU/mobo/ram when you can afford it. That would be another $300-$350 depending on what you are looking at getting.
