I would do the GPU first. You would get better framerate upgrading the GPU compared to getting 2 more GB of RAM. What kind of power supply did this come with?
 
Change the power supply to a Antec/XFX/Corsair/Silverstone/Seasonic/PC Power&Cooling in the 500/600W range. Change the video card to atleast a 6850/6870.
 
Agree^^ Change PSU to better quality and depending on how much money to spend, GTX570 -- 580
