First, you should probably invest in another 4 GB of RAM. 16 is excessive, and you won't experience any discernible performance increases in games by having another 8 GB.

Your processor, as you mentioned, is fine. I would upgrade your GPU to a HD 6870, which runs around $175. Try and stick with Sapphire, Asus, or XFX - LINK

6870 - Ranked 20th on Passmark.

Any recommendations? Doesn't RAM have to be compatible to the mboard?
