[PC Help] I'm in need of an upgrade... or two...
So with the recent release of PS2 for the consoles, I've finally been able to get a good taste of PS2 without having to dump upgrades into my PC. However, the console launch has to be one of the worst console launches, even managing to be worse than Assasin's Creed Unity... Yeah...
Anyways, the measly amount of time that I have spent on the console version has got me looking for more. And more can be found on the PC version which, when I played just a little (with like 5 fps) it had much better UI and a better feel. So now I'm looking to upgrade my PC, for PS2 and for the later release of Fallout 4 ;P
My current specs are:
CPU: Pentium Dual Core, 2.60 GHz (x2)
GPU: NVidia GeForce GTX 650
RAM: Crucial 4GB Kit (2GBx2) DDR2 800MHz (crying on the inside)
Motherboard: P5KPL-CM ASUS (http://www.cpu-upgrade.com/mb-ASUS/P5KPL-CM.html) <- has info on it
OS: Win 7 Ult
My PSU, Case, 1TB + 250gb HDD are all fine.
I'm trying not to break 200$ and may be able to get help from my dad, but if you guys had any deals that you've found or suggestions on what to get or where to begin, please feel free.

Your bottleneck right now is your cpu. Unfortunately in order to upgrade to a descent cpu you will need to upgrade the motherboard and since ddr2 is no longer supported you will need to upgrade the ram to ddr3.
You will need about $300 to be playable on planetside. Your gpu should be fine if you can do a mild overclock.
Rough Estimate:
4gb ddr3 $50
motherboard $100
cpu $150
