Hello all!
My budget is $500.00 dollars to upgrade. Keep in mind, since my Windows 7 is OEM, that means I have to buy another copy of Windows 7. Also, I can cancel my video card if you think that was a bad investment.
If you guys have any other suggestion or if the items I pick are pretty decent, let me know. Any help on this would be much appreciated. Thank you for your time.
Reason to upgrade is to play modern games with okay performance and old games at max settings, such as Skyrim without any hiccups.
As of now, I am planning to upgrade my old system by replacing the processor, motherboard, and graphic card.
These are the upgrades I have in mind.
