I Purchased a Gateway FX6860 December 2011-ish maybe it was 2010 for gaming. Anyway I made sure I got something upgradable because I was not willing to dive into pc construction at the time. Recently New games have been having some trouble playing at a decent framerate on my computer, and I'm hoping to get a few more years out of it with some upgrades.
I asked a friend in IT what was my best bet to upgrade and decided on upgrading Ram, buying a new graphics card, and getting a hybrid SSD to use as my main hard drive.
I think I'll be purchasing 4 4 Gig sticks of Ram, A card with at least twice the video memory as my current one and Still on the fence as to wheather to buy an SSD even though I already have a Terabyte hard drive. Advice on what to purchase would be apreciated. My budget for this upgrade is around $500.
