That is the current rig. Recently got the i7 from a friend with the motherboard.

 

List of potential upgrade paths:

 

-Hybrid or SSD+HD combo for storage.

-Video card (GTX 960 4gb or r9 380 4gb, THE GREAT DEBATE!)

-Keyboard/Mouse/Monitor/Mousemat. Didn't list them but they need an update.

-New Case/PSU. This is up in the air. Haven't decided if I will yet.

 

Thoughts people? Can only do one out of the list. Some information: I play League of legends, Hearthstone, World of tanks and some low graphic intensity steam games. Everything runs fine. Just need to freshen up the PC.

After some looking around and a little more research. 1080p gaming a 280x seems to be decent at that and is the cheapest out of the cards I looked at.

 

Thoughts people?
