Hi everyone,

About two and a half years ago I purchased an HP Pavilion p7-1449. The specs are listed here http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=8014774 Overall I've been happy with it except when it comes to playing the newest releases of games on steam. Essentially everything I come across that's been released within the last year is unplayable, even at "very low" settings. So I was wondering if anyone would be able to recommend how I would upgrade my current system and what parts would I need to purchase(new motherboard, new GPU, new case even?) I would like to be able to run games, such as Mortal Kombat X, Far Cry 4, and The Witcher 3 at "medium" settings.

A brief non technical rundown of my specs(accoring to tiger direct): AMD A10-5700 APU with Radeon HD Graphics 3.40 GHz, 10 GB Ram x64 based processor, my power supply is allegedly 300 watts according to the website. My monitor runs at 1680x1050.

Hopefully this was detailed enough! I really appreciate all your help.
