Ok, so I have a computer that is pretty old, I think 6-7 years now. I'm looking to slowly but surely make a new build out of it. I'm hoping to use my same hard drive, sound card, and disk drive to save money. I play video games and get terrible fps drops in Bioshock Infinite so I'm hoping to upgrade to get that game running smooth on medium-high first. Right now I only have the expenses to upgrade either my RAM, motherboard and processor or just a good GPU.
My current pc specs are:
Motherboard: Dell 0RY007
Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo E7300 @2.66GHz
RAM: 4GB DDR2
GPU: EVGA Geforce 9800 gt 1GB (i think DDR3)
Power Supply: 550W
What I am hoping to upgrade to:
CPU - AMD Phenom II X4 965
Motherboard - ASUS M5A78L-M LX PLUS AM3+
GPU - Geforce GTX 650 Ti 2Gb DDR5
RAM - Corsair Vengeance BLUE 4GB (may get 8 gigs)
So which should I bother upgrading first for the most noticeable difference? Just to reiterate I can only afford either:
1) Just the GPU upgrade or 2)Motherboard, processor, and RAM upgrade.
I'm also open to a totally different suggestion if it would help increase my PC performance.
