Hi There,
I built this system in 2013 for my son and it hasn't kept up with the Intel i5 builds that I made for the other boys around the same time.
1 x ($219.99) XFX Core Edition FX-787A-CNFC Radeon HD 7870 GHz E

1 x ($159.99) AMD FX-8320 Vishera 3.5GHz (4.0GHz Turbo) Socket A

1 x ($59.99) ENERMAX COENUS GUNMETAL GREY ECA3290A-G ATX MID TO

I haven't upgraded anything and am wondering where to start and what processor the existing motherboard can support. Looking for the most bang for my buck in terms of improvement. He plays Rocket League and Apex amongst other games. TY in advance for your input. I can build them but am pretty noobish when it comes to understanding the way the parts interact.
