quite confusing... your writing is.
heres what I'd do, if I got the money ( that means start to save up if you want a computer)
1.) new MOBO and CPU ( they usually need to be bought together)
2,) moar RAM
3.) new GPU(or GPUs)

when you don't have new parts, use the old one, the only non-upgradable things in a computer is the CPU, because they usually have different MOBO who goes with them.
