New PC set up I want to buy

I'm looking to buying a new set up for my PC. I'm not sure about everything yet, so I thought Id ask to see what will get nice performance in GTA IV with great graphics settings.

 

So Id like to update

-i7 Quad Core 3.5 GHz

-16GB of Ram

 

So the question is do I need to update the Graphics card? My Graphics card is a Nvidia 460GTX.

 

What FPS and what settings can I run the game on?

 

I run my game on an AMD Phenum Quad Core 2.4 GHz, Nvidia 460GTX, 4GB of Ram.

Texture Quality High

Resolution 1920x1080

Reflection's High

Shadows High

Water Very High

Texture filter Highest setting

Night Shadows Medium (No difference in other settings)

Veiw distance 25

Detail Distance 15

Vehicle Density 33

Deffinition Off

V-sync On

 

I get about 25 FPS. It doesnt jerk or anything so thats nice.

What else can I update to get higher FPS, with higher settings, if not highest settings?

Well, since you can afford such an expensive build, I'd upgrade the GPU too. GTX460 might not be enough for maximum setting (i7 is more than enough), though it'll be fine for high. Though, I think the best option is to wait for next-gen GPUs to hit the market.

 

Also... why 16GBs of RAM? It's unnecessary.

 

On a side note you moght be interested in waiting till Ivy Bridge CPUs are released, which is supposed to happen in April.
