I recently purchased computer componets and started from scratched, this was when I had just a little money to get one going. Now im wanting to get it up to par so I can play pc games, such as modernw2. I dont want minimum specs just to get by, I want to know what I need to upgrade to so that my pc will play the latest and upcoming games for a couple years. I would appreciate it if you can help and throw you two sense in. Thanks and heres my specifications.
