No, the gpu is definetly what's "killing it". 4gbs of ram is too little nowadays but it's not your problem right now for sure (though a $30 stick of ram will help you with the other stuff you do like multitasking, hd video reproduction with multiple windows open on chrome, etc.).

Just to give you some sort of comparison between your gpu and more modern ones: (650ti vs:)

  • (starting with nvidia's gpus) gtx 750ti --- 40-60% faster, costs $110, has 2gb of vram.

  • gtx 950 --- almost x2 faster, costs $120-$140, comes with 2gb of vram too.

  • gtx 960 --- about x2.2 faster, costs $200, also 2gb of vram

  • gtx 970/980/1070/1080 are all of course much much faster, but im assuming you dont play on 4k anyways so they may be overkill.

  • (AMD's gpus now) r7 260/360 --- a little bit faster than your card, around 30% and 50% and both cost anything between $100 and $140 (like this 360 at $100)

  • r9 380/380x --- about as fast as the 960 (the 380x is maybe a tad bit faster) and definetly faster than the 950, so about x2 and x2.2 as fast. They cost $200 and $230 but now their prices are definetly going down because.....

  • rx 480 --- basically x3 your card, since it apparently matches up with the 980, it will cost 200$ at 4gb of vram and $230 if you want it to have 8gb of vram.

    What i'm saying is that you can spend $30 on a 4gb stick of ram, get 1-5 fps boost and a significant boost in your overall windows/macos/linux experience, or get a rx 480/gtx 950 for 200(my recomendation) or 150 dollars and get a significant boost, probably getting to playable levels at medium in 1080p with the 950 and most definetly full 60fps at max settings on 1080p with the new rx 480. You can also do both and probably be done with upgrading your pc for a long while, maybe 3 years or more even.

    Also, the 750ti, 950, 960 and 480 all need very little power compared to other cards, so you can probably just swap them with your current 650 without much hassle. I would ask /r/buildapc for more info on compatibility.
