I want to upgrade my computer system
#Current system
Motherboard: Gigabyte Technology GA-770T-D3L
CPU: AMD Phenom II X4 945 3Ghz.
GPU: Digital Alliance GT210 1GB GDDR3 64 bit
Memory: Corsair Memory XMS3 4GB DDR 3 1333 Mhz dual channel desktop.
Drive: Seagate 500GB 7200 rpm SATA
PSU: erSys P4-LGA-500 E W
OS: Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit.
#Note
Budget is around $500 but can be more if it does make a difference.
I just use it for Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator, Corel Draw, Google Drive, and Google Chrome, antivirus and nothing else.
#My current plan
Upgrade memory to 8GB DDR 3 1866
Upgrade drive to 256GB SSD and use the 500 GB SATA as second drive.
Upgrade GPU: NVidia GTX 960 (2 or 4 GB?)
#Question
Any recommendation especially on GPU and memory?
Does OS upgrade make a difference or is it just eating my drive and memory?
Thank you
