Looking to upgrade my build from 2012. I currently have the following:
PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant

Motherboard: ASRock Z77 Extreme4 ATX LGA1155 Motherboard ($139.99 @ SuperBiiz)

Looking to upgrade the majority of parts to be VR ready and future proof...I'm especially looking to upgrade my CPU, MoBo(if necessary, trying to go smaller), MoBo and GFX card. I also would look to get another case as the USB's on this one have broke and I've been becoming more interested in mini-itx/smaller builds for space/comofrtability. No budget here. Any suggestions on how to achieve my above goal? Been out of the PC building game for a while!! Thanks
