Post Body

I am not very tech savvy. My computer was given to me by a friend. Lately I’ve been noticing significant performance issues when playing newer games and would like to try upgrading some parts. I am a grad student and thus do not make much money. I was wondering what is the cheapest upgrade I can do that would get me a noticeable performance boost when I play newer games. Typically I play FPSs.

Specs: GPU: NVIDIA GEForce GTX 960 CPU: AMD FX(tm)-6300 Series six core processor 3.50 GHz Memory: 8GB Storage: brand new 1 TB drive.
