Last week I bought myself a 128gb SSD, and a 750wM Corsair PSU (To speed up and to allow for more upgrades to my PC)

In a little over a week I get my next paycheck, and should have about £150 or so to spare.
What does tomsHardware Forum recommend I buy to upgrade my build?

I am really unsure of what to upgrade first...I could do with some RAM, but I think that's rather a low priority....the motherboard and GPU both definitely need changing though..

I'd LIKE, to be able to play games such as the Witcher 3 on like normal graphics settings without minimal lag if possible; are there any GPU's that could do this for my build? (Although according to CanIRunThis, I can, I still doubt it with this GPU)


P.s.
Also, I dont know why it doesnt show up on Speccy, but I do actually have a Optical drive


Edit: I have just noticed in this post that my current system is 32-bit after having re-installed windows 7, so I just re-installed in 64 bit form
 


I installed this OS less than a week ago, yes I know I can upgrade to windows 10, however I don't want to.....it wont have anywhere near as much support for it for some time now, and I never was much of a fan for Win8 the whole time I had it.

I have Windows 10 on both my laptops, think its cool.. but games run somewhat slow on there due to all the extra features such as cortana
 


After your comment, I began looking up GPU's and found one I particularly like the look of (I'd have to spend a little more than I'd wanted, but oh well) for £200

Would this be a good GPU for my board (I believe it should all be compatible):

Brilliant! lastly, do you think that if I were to buy the R9 280 it would be able to run Fallout 4 on the release date? If so how high could the settings be for the R9 280 to be able to handle
 

Brilliant, just what I wanted to hear! :)

Thanks, I think I'll buy the 280 as soon as that paycheck comes in!
