Looking for an opinion...

Im thinking about upgrading my motherboard, because the one I have is from an HP prebuilt, therefore no overclocking, USB 3.0, or PCIE 3.0 or even Sata 3.0. But, if I don't upgrade my motherboard right now, I could get an ssd, a WiFi and Bluetooth adapter and a case (I was planning on getting a new case even if upgrade the motherboard though.)  

Any opinions on this matter? 

 

Or or should I sell the whole thing and go Ryzen instead?

    with the x4? i'd personally go ryzen

    Ok, I was leaning towards that but the only thing is I pretty much would only have money for Ryzen if I sold my pc. How much do you think I could get for my pc?

    my second hand market prices aren't that accurate

     

    i'd ask it in new builds, those guys are a lot more accurate than me

     

    and btw... you might want something newer than a cx500...

    I like to show some magic sometimes?
