Hello!
I know a 2010 rig could be difficult to upgrade for Fallout 4, but I've wanted to look into upgrading this computer for awhile now, especially emphasis on the video card whose HDMI doesn't work. I was wondering if their were any obvious bottlenecks ( besides the VC) and what's the best bang for your buck option. Any help is greatly appreciated! Recently it was running Dragon Age Inquisition at medium specs with laggy performance. Just a side note that there's a SSD that holds my OS that's higher than the 40 gig, that's why it's listed as my back up.
Approximate Purchase Date: Within the next month. (before Fallout 4 release)
