Hello,
I've been using this computer for about 2 years now and I want to upgrade it. It is kind of weak but it handles some games alright and it's a commercial PC by Asus. My question is, what should I upgrade to make it better for gaming, for example making it get higher fps and resoloution. My budget will not exceed about 1200 dollars give or take. Below are my specs : )
-Intel core i5-4460
-DDR3 8GB
-Nividia Geforce Gtx 960 2gb
-HDD 1 TB ( btw need a good 2tb one)
-motherboard:
M52AD_M12AD_A_F_K13AD(name)
-8GB Ram
Clearly I'm not the best with computers and I need your help. If I can help you with any info, I'll provide it for you.

I am glad to help, but I need one more bit of information. The model listed for your motherboard seems to be the model number of the tower itself.
If you could run the following code in a command prompt and reply with the results, that would be greatly helpful.
Code:
wmic baseboard get product,Manufacturer,version,serialnumber

The motherboard is the holy grail of upgrades, so to say. Everything is limited by it's capabilities.

*Edit* Also, if you could provide the model of your power supply. We need to make sure there are enough adapters and juice for whatever we pump your system up with.
