Should I upgrade or buy a new pc?

Hi, I am looking to upgrade my pc over the next couple of months, I don't really want to spend a huge amount but I am open to all ideas at the moment.

So far my computer has:

Motherboard: Giga-Byte GA-78LMT-S2P
Maximum memory: 16384MB
Slots:2 (2 banks of 1)
Installed Ram: 6GB (4GB 2GB)
Storage: SATA 2 - 3Gb/s
Chipset: AMD 760G
Graphics card: PCI Express x16
Processor: AMD FX(tm)-4100 Quad-Core Processor
System Type: 64-bit Operating System

Anything else you need to know? This is my first time posting something like this so not sure on the info you may need...

I could possibly do with buying a new case too so any idea on that?

Just looking for advice really on how I should start upgrading my pc or if I should even bother upgrading and just buy a new, I tend to play a lot of games and would like to start playing more modern games like Battlefield, Fifa and so on..

Thankyou

ok any advice on what SSD I should look at?

Dame_xD · 29 Jul 2015 at 23:34

ok I will check that out, thanks.. I am also thinking of upgrading my RAM, maybe change out my 2GB for a 8GB

Ok thankyou, I will have a look around for these parts :-)

I could also do with buying a new case, any Advice on which case will be a good fit for my stuff?

Dame_xD · 30 Jul 2015 at 21:11

I believe as I will be changing to SSD I will also need an OS

would this kind of case fit my needs.. Galaxy Bubble BLUE LED Desktop PC Computer Mini Tower Gaming Case

Also would I need any extra wires or connectors for all of the fans to connect to my Mobo?

Dame_xD · 30 Jul 2015 at 23:25

yeah, all the wires came with the case but I am sure that there were more wires and connectors in it than spaces on my Mobo :s

ok so my case has a USB 3.0 on the front panel but I don't have a clue where it connects on my Mobo... Do I need an adapter or anything for it?

Dame_xD · 31 Jul 2015 at 22:21

Yes I believe I do need an adapter, also my Mobo is rev 5.0...

I think I might skip all the hassle and just buy a £400 gaming rig off ebay or something with 8-16GB Ram, 120 GB SSD and so on, then upgrade that further down the line as mine I have now is around 5 years old :s

Not too sure yet though.
