With this it would help to know your location.
also if you have to buy locally or if you can buy online.

do you know the model and brand of your motherboard? if not, dl speccy and post a screenshot of your computer components.
there are a couple things you can do before upgrading main components.
buy an ssd. thisll decrease boot time and load times in games.
aftermarket cpu cooler. this will allow you to overclock your cpu and keep your temps low.
