Gaming upgrade

[shaneinsane]

Hey everyone my friend has helped me build my computer about a few months ago and Ive been pleased but Ive been saving for awhile now and have 1000 dollars and I'm not looking to spend it all but its getting around Christmas time but I'm looking to make another step forward into making my PC being able to run all games and future games is there anything out right now that I should get or next year...


I pretty much use my PC strictly for gaming

I don't know what to do

I'm not like total clueless when it comes to PC's but the hardware aspect and the best prices for the best hardware and how to set everything up I believe since my PC is all ready set up and my motherboard has everything plugged in it I could just make a note where everything's at.

These are my current specs of my PC I don't want to upgrade anything with sound right now
