I bought this computer in 2010 and was my first computer I had picked parts for and had assembled, well now I am needing to do some upgrades and not sure what to do, I am looking for what upgrades I would need to get if I wanted to run games such as the new upcoming paragon game, fallout, witcher, etc Below are the specs on current computer.


  • AMD Phenom II X4 965 Quad-Core 3.4GHz AM3 Processor
    AMD STANDARD COOLING FAN
    MSI 760GM-E51 FX Socket AM3+ / AMD 760G/ DDR3/ A&V&GbE/ MATX Motherboard
    16GB (2 x 8GB) 240-Pin DDR3 1333MHz (PC3 10600) Dual Channel
    CRUCIAL 960GB Solid State Drive SATA III (READ/WRITE 500MB/400MB)
    ATI RADEON HD 6570 1GB DDR3 DVI/HDMI/VGA VIDEO CARD
    Wireless-N 300Mbps External USB2.0 Adapter
    hec X ORION 585 WATT POWER SUPPLY (MEDIUM LOAD)

Hopefully I can just buy some upgrades over time since i can't afford a brand new one right at this time. Thanks for any help!
 
So it depends on your budget, I'd first recommend upgrading that PSU, as it will allow a more reliable power delivery to the other parts. Then, upgrade your GPU. Afterwards, upgrade your CPU and board. If I can know your budget, I'll get a list set up promptly with my recommendations.
 


I was TRYING to keep it around 400-500 tops if possible.
 


WOW you are fast, and that isn't bad at all! Thanks for all the quick help!
