Hello, my parts are currently:
Phenom II 955 BE @ 3.6
Old Mobo that can only support DDR2
6gigs DDR2 ram
xfx 6770
750w psu (if it matters)
What should I change/keep?
Upgrade for 600-700?

You could probably make a new system all together, keeping monitor/case/PSU/hard drive.
~$50-$60 RAM.
~$70-$130 Mobo.
~$220 CPU (i5 3770 or 2500K imo)
~$250 GPU (7850/7870, but if you want to the extra mile $350 for a 660 Ti)
~$100 SSD hard drive (100-120 GB on sale).
Depending on sales tax and shipping, it'll go a bit over $700. PSU/Case is reusable I'm assuming.
GPU: ~$250 7870 radeon http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150605
RAM: ~$50 8GB 1600 RAM http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231314
Mobo: ~$105 mobo http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157330
CPU: ~230 i5 3570k http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819116504
SSD: ~115 kingston SSD http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820239045
I'd personally wait for a specific GPU/RAM/SSD to go on sale before buying, because they go on sale often enough can you can end up saving $15-$20 from each component. CPU/Mobo prices don't change much.

Well idk if i really need a 660ti, i don't play much gpu heavy games. just sc2, tf2, hon, some d3. My friend has a 660 and it's much more than he actually needs.

i heard a oc'd 660 is better than a 7850 though, and it's cheaper...slightly

Yeah, if a 660 is cheapter than a 7850 and you plan to OC, might be worth it. If you plan to OC, someone else can help you a bit more (won't change which CPU you're getting). The $170-$230 GPU range will completely cover the games you play.

If those are the games you play focus on your CPU the most.

I mean I would really love to play SC2 on max settings and Crysis on max as well.
