Whats the nest way to upgrade my PC. I'd like to be able to reduce Late game turn times.

Rig is
AMD Athlon II X3 445 Processor
ASUS M4N68T-M Motherboard
Xigmatek Scorpion Cooler
Saphire passive AMD Radeon HD 7700 Series
8GB Generic Memory
500gb HD

The CPU's tempting...but with that I'm tempted to update mb too, and make another machine. This may also make a difference when steam tempts me to try a different game...Thinking GTA V will be next :)

Would faster/more ram make a significant difference? would learning to overclock make a bigger difference?

I know an ssd would reduce load times and be very cool, but wouldn't help with all the calculations late game, huge maps.

Many thanks...

Incedently, I cannot recommend the Sapphire graphics card enough. Barely hits 50 degrees on max settings.
