My laptop blew out and I am resorting to polish my less than optimal PC. Not much of a budget so am considering 1 mid-low (<$200) upgrade at a time. Current dilemma: Upgrade my Intel(R) Pentium(R) dual core CPU G620 @ 2.60GHz to an i5 2nd gen OR upgrade my NVIDIA GeForce GT 630 to a PNY GeForce GTX 660 Graphics Card.
This was a slimline HP s5-1110. I set the board (IPISB-CU) in a bigger case and got the RAM up to 8gb as well as jumped the power supply to 650w.
I use my PC mostly for gaming (Skyrim, Civ5, NBA2k14 to name a few). Ideally would like to get to the point where I can run a game like Skyrim on higher settings.
New to most of this, I apologize if I am not providing enough information.
