I haven't been involved with computer builds or anything since I first build my computer years ago.

This is my current setup:

Windows 7

Power Supply: Thermaltake t2 600w
Motherboard: BIOSTAR TA785G3HD AM3 AMD 785G HDMI Micro ATX AMD Motherboard
Video Card: SAPPHIRE 100283-3L Radeon HD 5770 1GB 128-Bit GDDR5 PCI E
Processor: AMD Athlon II X3 440 Rana 3.0GHz Socket AM3 95W Triple-Core
Memory: Mushkin Enhanced Silverline 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333
Hard Drive: Seagate Barracuda 7200.12 ST3500418AS 500GB 7200 RPM 16MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5"

My case isn't great, I'm kinda looking to get a new one that is smaller for better transportation(kinda my idea originally when I bought a micro board)

I'm looking for a new video card, that's where I plan to spend the most money, possibly a 760.

I don't expect to have the greatest upgrade in the world for only 350-400 bucks however, I think with my current setup I'm still able to upgrade to get some good performance for my money instead of going and buying a new computer.

I plan on upgrading to get better performance in games like League of Legends, and CS GO, but also plan on playing a bit of BF4 possibly, my purchase date is ASAP.

I prefer to use newegg or amazon, already have a monitor, keyboard, mouse, headset, and such. I am in the US.

I do not plan on overclocking, and have no preference on brands.

Do you think my motherboard needs to be upgraded for sure? I originally bought it with the idea that I could upgrade around it, but I don't know if the processor slot is good enough(?) to handle any solid upgrades, where-as I can max it out at 16gb ram and can run a better video card.

I apologize I was thinking of the price for GTX 660 ti not the GTX 660 (non ti)'s price.

You will want more RAM.
