Question Need upgrade help.

[MidwestDad]

Howdy all!


I don't know much about hardware, but I know my PC is starting to drag some when gaming and photo editting. If ya'll could recommend an upgrad or two I would appriciate it. My current budget is around $300-$400.

Thanks!

MATX seeing how less than 10% of PC users will ever think of needing that extra PCI slot.
