What is it that really gives your computer the juice to get higher fps? I mean... im usually get spikes of 30 fps and dips 0f 5-10 and i want to play at 30 all the time. So what should i buy for my pc? Its not really a gaming pc, but i call it a "gaming" pc because i game on it. Its got a pentium 4 3.0 ghz. I am going to overclock a little later on. 1.5 GB of ram. I am going to upgrade that. A Geforce 8400 gs. I am also goint to upgrade this. So what is it that really gives me the fps and what will give me more? My mobo only has 1 pci-e slot and its pci-e 1.0 not 2.0. That doesnt realy help, but i'll survive. THANKZ!

No, you don't.
I've got these;
HIS Radeon HD 4850 1GB
AMD quad-core 940be @ 3.7 GHz
6 GB RAM.
And I can run GTA IV @ 30-40 fps with everything set to medium.

I got a;
Core i5 @ 3.6GhZ (its overclocked, but standard it uses intel turbo boost, wich also works great)
4GB ram
GTS450
MSI mobo
Although for GTA you could go with a core i3 easily. Do upgrade your mobo though, I wouldn't worry about RAM to much, considering 32bits windows can't actually use higher then 3.2GB(correct me if I'm wrong, it could be lower or a little higher). If you do take more then 3GB ram make sure you have a 64 bit machine.
If you want to run GTA SA on highest take, arround 2GB ram, prefferable 4GB if your planning on playing more demanding games on it, go with either a core i3 or i5, or some AMD, they do the same trick only cheaper. And get a graphics card that has a nice clock speed and atleast 512MB memory. Check ******* reviews before you buy one.
For games, worry about the GFX and CPU.
