I built my PC with advice from here almost three years ago on a budget (~$900) and want to upgrade some things starting now to keep it from going too out-of-date.
Here's what I have now:
I'm not sure what I can best accomplish with a $300-$400 budget. I'm guessing a graphics card is the best upgrade I can do, but am not sure. (And also not sure if my current PSU is enough to handle things like that). Budget isn't set in stone, but I don't want to spend a lot more than that.
I play lots of games on it, but am not a sticker for best-in-class performance (obviously), but my Steam backlog is so big I'm often a year or two behind games by the time I get to them.
Thanks!
