Ok, so I'm going to have 225 dollars by july 31, and I'm wondering what am I going to buy for my gaming pc. This is my current setup
Case - Corsair Carbide Series SPEC 01
Fans - Corsair AF (3)x120mm
Motherboard - MSI b150 gaming m3
Cpu - i5 6600k@ 3.5 Turbo 3.9 ghz
Cpu Cooler - Corsair H60 120mm Single Rad
Gpu -
Ram - Hyper X Fury Dual Channel (8gb)
Psu - EVGA 500w
Storage - Seagate 1TB

So the thing is I need a new motherboard, because one of the usbs don't work, but I still have 7 so It's not a need one now situation. Anyway I currently don't have a graphics card, I was thinking about getting a gtx 750 for 90 bucks, and buying something else like a dvd reader, more ram, or a ssd, but If I get a ssd how do I make it my boot drive without reinstalling windows?

Ok, so the real question is should I get a gtx 750, and buy a ssd. Or should I just get a gtx 960.

Right now your only real bottleneck is the fact that you don't have a GPU, that's a great processor, and you have enough ram. I would just get the best GPU you can afford whenever you have the money, the gtx 750 would be holding the rest of your system back, I personally would try to get the best gtx 9xx series you can on the 31rst.

While an SSD is absolutely a worthwhile upgrade, I would not prioritize it over a good GPU.

Use Samsungs Magician software to clone the OS to the SSD.
