My birthday is coming up and I have been wanting to upgrade my computer for a while now because I want something better. Yes, I know it may not be needed, but I am a computer enthusiast and I love getting the latest and greatest. I don't know what to upgrade because I don't want something to be bottle-necked once I make the change. My question: What would I need to upgrade to get the greatest overall gaming performance?
Here is my current system:
Motherboard: Biostar TA790GXB A2+
Processor: AMD Phenom II x3 710 AM3
Memory: 4GB Kingston HyperX DDR2 800 MHz
Graphics: HIS ATI Radeon HD 5770 1GB
Power Supply: Antec EarthWatts 650W
Case: Antec 900
Monitor: 19" Dell 1440x900
CPU Cooler: (Just Upgraded) Scythe Katana 3
Note: I might be willing to change motherboards and RAM altogether for a better "made for AM3" motherboard with 2 PCIe 2.0 slots.
Budget: $300-400
