Hello everyone! I've been trying to research this for a few days and haven't found anything that really answer my questions, so I decided to just come out and ask it instead of lurking.

I'm currently running on a HP Envy 700-056 (full specs)

I've had just a few questions before I start upgrading it.

Should I gut it and place the pieces in a new tower to ensure there's enough space for my upgrades?

Is there an order I should upgrade in to make sure I can do this over time to save money?

Is there any tips you have for me before I embark on this venture?

Thank you, everyone!

There isn't anything that proprietary about the motherboard, its just a simple micro atx board that is flipped upside down so they could mount it in the case that way. The processor and everything else is fine, If you want to start getting into upgrades just buy a corsair 200r case, then get a power supply, and a video card within budget. From there you can start upgrading more and more stuff in your system until you have a really good system. If you feel the need later just start upgrading stuff like the motherboard, processor, ram, and then add something like an ssd. That case will allow you to keep upgrading more and more stuff until manufactures stop making that type of motherboard form factor.

HP are not good PC's to start upgrading. There are many problems reported here. And HP doesn't provide enough detailed info to help solve problems.

eg - I can get a lot of info on an ASRock Z97 Extreme 4 motherboard, but it's hard to find out any info on most HP motherboards.

My suggestion is to buy another pre-built or if you are enthusiastic enough, make your own build. There area lot of people here who can help you with that. But you need to have a good think about exactly what you want to do with the pc and how much you want to spend on it - up front and any upgrades down the road. There's forum guidelines for this.
