As the title states, I'm thinking of upgrading my PC. My specs are in the Spoiler at the bottom. I'm on a limited budge (as in, somewhere around $500), so I need to be selective on what I upgrade. For sure I'm changing out my MoBo (Motherboard), as my onboard network card is trashed, and the case has to be upgraded to fit my new Cooler Master Hyper 212 Plus. I can't decide on the brand/model of the MoBo I should get, either, and if I change my CPU make, what brand of MoBo there. The only deal is, I'll most likely have money left over to upgrade one or two other parts. What would you suggest I upgrade, and what brand etc.?
I play games like Skyrim, sometime I'll use Dolphin, I play Bf4 alot. I definitely plan on getting Witcher 3, and getting Black Ops 3 & Fallout 4 upon release. I know I can play them with these specs, but I want to do an upgrade anyway to be safe
PS. Thanks to windows 10, my GT 440 Co-GPU is useless, and I need to take it out anyway, but haven't gotten around to it yet.
