What I have
MB: Maximus III Gene
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce 465
CPU: Intel I7 860 @ 2.8Ghz (8cpu)
Ram: 4 sticks of 2gb DDR3
PSU: Corsair TX750 (bronze)
I am looking to upgrade a little so that I can at least play modern games. I know the gpu is what’s holding me back here. But as a beginner builder I have no idea where to start and what my MB and CPu can even handle as far as comparability etc.
so for starters where and what needs to be upgraded for me to be able to play modern games if I have a budget of around 500$?
any helpful suggestions ideas etc will be greatly appreciates.
