Depends what you use it for, if it's for gaming a new graphics card is going to give you better performance and if it's for video editing, music production or photoshop then the CPU. If you do just upgrade your graphics card though your CPU might bottleneck it so if you can afford it do a full upgrade, motherboard, CPU, GPU and RAM.

Upgrading your graphics card would be the best thing to upgrade, a 6850/460 would be a good upgrade and if you want to spend a bit more a 6870/6950/560 TI.

For gaming the graphics card is the most important single upgrade to look at! I would recommend a overclocked edition GTX 460, performance wise for the money its probably one of the best cards there is on the market. You've got the power supply to handle it at least!!

you don't need a 6 core cpu if all your doing is gaming, a 965 black would be perfect :]

Upgrade the GFX card.

Just get 4 gigs of ram instead of the 8. Unless you are doing excessive rendering/video editing there is not much of a point having that much ram.
