What should I upgrade?

Hey guys/gals. I got an awesome gift (or gifts) for christmas that were PC parts which I assembled. I'm very thankful for both my parents in being able to get me it. Now I'm getting the itch to upgrade and my father said he'd buy some old stuff off of me instead of trading into Amazon. I just need help in what I should upgrade. I primarily use my computer to browse the web and play games (CSGO, Skyrim, Arma 3, Terraria, and others).

 

Here is my build list to help out. I'm thinking to just upgrade the CPU and later on in the summer when I actually get a job to be able to get more things. Thoughts?

In the Darkness lies the Truth.

HAve you overclocked your processor yet? the G3258 packs a lot more punch if overlcocked.

I actually tried it before like a few months ago, but read about a bad overclock so I reset it to stock settings. I plan to go back and get the best overclock I can, just haven't found the time. Also you are right, I saw a huge boost in playing Arma 3. It went from around 30fps mostly to be able to hit the 45-60fps range.

So maybe like a new set of ram such as this? Or for the SSD I was thinking an 850 EVO drive.

Your current stick is fine. Just add one more like that and you're good to go. 850 is a good drive. If I had to choose between RAM and SSD, i would go with SSD.

I am sorry for my english.
