Hi this is my first time here at tom's hardware so bear with me...
I know some things about computers and I bought a barebones kit from Tigerdirect and After a year I'm looking to upgrade which I havent done besides changing a hard drive that failed on me and getting a new graphics card after my old broke. Here are my system specs...

I dont have one...
And thats it...So I've been searching around TigerDirect for a week trying to find upgrades, I want to basicly upgrade everything in the computer (not the HDD since I just upgraded it) I mostly just don't know what to start with since I wont be upgrading it all at one time With my budget I'll have to upgrade over around 6 months. The main use of this computer will be for hardcore gaming with some multimedia mixed in.
My budget Right now is: $300
Over 6 months though it will be around $700 or $800
Thanks for you help!
