Alright. Above is my current PC in all its glory. One thing to account for is, the GPU is not mine, I am just borrowing it. 

The reasoning behind the upgrade is, the only way I can think of to build credit is to take out a loan and 800 seems.. fine. x-x; But I wanted to see what ways the community could come up with in terms of upgrading my PC :v I do alot of gaming, F@H'ing, and alot of secondlife, which is unoptimized and even the 980 on 1080p barely gets 30fps on medium :v so yeah.. 

 

@TheRandomness :v Any ideas? (And ways to get to biggest post ever?)

Get a GTX 1080, another 8GB of RAM, and If you can find a used 3770K you should have a decent system for a while.

Get a cheap, unlocked second hand compatible 1155 i7 and a 1070/1080 or VEGA equivalent.  Get some more RAM and maybe a cheap ssd if you have leftovers?

You need to find one on Craigslist or something, not through an online store.
