Alright, after buying a PC in 2008 and using it this long, I figured I should upgrade it. The 4 things that I want to upgrade is the Motherboard, GPU and PSU, plus the fans to go to everything (and anything else that needs to be replaced/ or need.) I put back a little money at a time for a couple of months and I have $800, but I can easily get it to $1000 if needed. I AM NOT LOOKING TO BUILD A NEW SYSTEM.
I'm kind of too lazy to go get the specs, but the model is HP m9040n.
I'm a casual gamer, nothing too demanding especially since the 8400 GS sucks. The must with buying new parts is that it will be able to play a few of my favorite games. I don't care about the maker of the part as long as it can be OC'd and is functional.
Is there anything else that I need to buy? (Excluding RAM and such.)
What can I buy in that range that will support my gaming needs? (P.S. I want parts that can play GTA IV at max settings.)
