your specs are good, not sure what you need to tweak see if your motherboard supports SLI
If it’s graphics you are after then go SLI with the card you have

only if you have a SLI capable board. most are not.
what resolution do you use?
nice monitor might offer the most pleasing upgrade if you are using a TN screen.
i use ECS H612H2-m2 Motherboard
resolution 1366 x 768
18.5″ monitor..
what is SLI??
my gc is already overclocked version..
when i play gta IV, always got stuck in a middle of the game..others run smooth..but not this GTA IV
The GPU seems like the weakest part of your system, because you do want to game.
My advice, wait for the new GPUs that are coming soon.
Yeah, wait for the newer GPUs. The HD7xxx looks promising!
I used to play GTA IV on Nvidia 8800GT….so your 550 Ti should be alright if you lower video quality a little… And then wait for newer GPUs…
defo upgrade the monitor.
that will make the best difference.
If you get a good one and not a TN panel with a larger screen and better resolution then everything your PC displays will look much better. games included.
