This is my nephew's gaming computer and it may be time for an upgrade. He enjoys FPS, third person adventures games (AC, Watch Dogs, etc) and is looking forward to Middle Earth Shadows of Mordor. Unfortunately the computer struggles with current games on decent settings (medium). What, if anything, do you recommend to improve performance on a $200 budget?
Motherboard: EVGA X58 Micro Edition
Processor: Intel i7 930 2.8ghz but overclocked to 3.5ghz
Memory: 6GB DDR3 1600
GPU: ATI Radeon HD 5870 1GB
PSU: 750W (Corsair I think)
HDD: Western Digital 500GB 7200
Thank you in advance and let me know if any additional details are needed.
