Upgrading my rig
Post Body

What will you be doing with this PC? Be as specific as possible, and include specific games or programs you will be using.

I already have a PC, but do want some advice with what I can upgrade or expand.

I plan to browse the internet, in addition to playing American Truck Simulator, Farming Simulator 17, and Farming Simulator 19.

What is your maximum budget before rebates/shipping/taxes?

Max budget is $1,200 Canadian.

When do you plan on building/buying the PC? Note: beyond a week or two from today means any build you receive will be out of date when you want to buy.

Less than six months from now. Before September 2019.

What, exactly, do you need included in the budget? (Tower/OS/monitor/keyboard/mouse/etc)

16 gigs of ram. Better CPU. Upgrading from an i5-3570k with no OC. Potentially better motherboard. Upgrading from ASRock Z77 Extreme6. Better Graphics card as well, upgrading from an AMD Radeon 7800 with Crossfire disabled.

Which country (and state/province) will you be purchasing the parts in? If you're in US, do you have access to a Microcenter location?

Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.

If reusing any parts (including monitor(s)/keyboard/mouse/etc), what parts will you be reusing? Brands and models are appreciated.

Polaroid TV. Logitech G710 Dell computer mouse Altec Lansing Surround sound system. Corsair Carbide 500R

Will you be overclocking? If yes, are you interested in overclocking right away, or down the line? CPU and/or GPU?

Not interested in overclocking

Are there any specific features or items you want/need in the build? (ex: SSD, large amount of storage or a RAID setup, CUDA or OpenCL support, etc)

Not really, but am open to suggestions.

Do you have any specific case preferences (Size like ITX/microATX/mid-tower/full-tower, styles, colors, window or not, LED lighting, etc), or a particular color theme preference for the components?

No colour preference, etc, but would like to stay with my Corsair Carbide 500R if possible.

Do you need a copy of Windows included in the budget? If you do need one included, do you have a preference?

Windows 10, please

Extra info or particulars:

No rush, but I'm looking to upgrade my performance. I can't get 60FPS consistently on very high graphics for Farming Simulator 19, and I want to fully enjoy the graphical improvements relative to Farming Simulator 19.

If I need to clarify or expand on something, please let me know. I also have a TX750 power supply, a 1TB HD, and a 112 gig SSD.
