Hey guys!

I'm a casual gamer, i play games like blade and soul, overwatch, league, just started this game called riders of Icarus. My pc is pretty dated and i'm started to get irritated by the performance of it. For example, on overwatch i start the game off with 60 FPS, but the second all the champions load, i drop straight to 30. I range between 15-40 FPS and it's pretty irritating.

My setup is this:

i5 750 processor
Asus P7P55D EVO motherboard
MSI 950 2 gig graphics card
500 gig of harddrive
8 gig of ram ddr3 (two, two gig, one four gig)
650 watt powersupply by corasair

Any tips on what i can upgrade?
I don't want to spend more than like 200 dollars.
I plan to eventually build a beast computer just for the pleasure, but i don't think i'll ever be playing anything but mmorpgs or mobas haha.

CPU is probs the bottleneck....your i5 is getting on. I'm assuming your GPU is an NVIDIA GTX 950?

If you spend a little more you could go for a bang up-to-date Skylake CPU and still use your DDR3 RAM...

Any cheaper solutions? I'm running overwatch on medium.. i just want to run games smooth on higher graphics. Once again, i don't need a pc that can play tomb raider on max graphics, etc

I was watching a youtube video and this guy did a budget gaming pc build.

The processor was intel g4400
And the motherboard was msi h110m pro-vd

Both add up to a total of $120.

What are you thoughts?
