Here is my current build:
CPU: AMD Phenom II X4 840
Motherboard: Gigabyte 880GM-UD2H
Hard drive: Samsung Spinpoint 1TB HDD
RAM: 8GB
Power supply: Cooler Master Extreme 500W
Heat Sink: Cooler Master Hyper 212 Plus
Graphics: Diamond Radeon HD 7750 PCI Express Graphics Card
Sound: ASUS XONAR DG PCI 5.1 Audio Card
Windows 7, 64 bit

I'm wondering if there are a couple of minor upgrades or even better - tweaks to my current setup that I can do as I start to do a little gaming on my system. Mostly interested in sports games (i.e. FIFA series and PES). I've been testing out FIFA 13 and while it's OK, it certainly doesn't have quite the smoothness that I see in the video trailers for it on youtube, etc. Not looking (nor should I be!) spending much money on parts at the moment, but if there is $100 that would make a great improvement I might pull the trigger.
