Hello, recently i have been looking into upgrading my pc to a more gaming pc but was not sure how i would do so.

here are my pc specs:

 

Memory: 8192MB DDR3 RAM
Processor: Intel® Core i3-2100 CPU @ 3.10GHz (4 CPUs), ~3.1GHz
Operating System: Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit (6.1, Build 7601) Service Pack 1
GPU name: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 650
Motherboard: Asus P8H61-MX R2.0
HDD : 500GB Western Digital HDD
 
 
Budget = £300-500
 
I am looking to upgrade with a SSD for my operating system to speed up my pc and maybe improve the CPU and GPU but still staying with Nvidia
not sure what would be best to upgrade to improve the gaming experience and maybe be capable of triple monitors which i was also looking into but i am open to all suggestions and views 
 
Thanks
Matt  :)
