CPU: AMD FX(tm)-4130 Quad-Core Processor
Video Card: GeForce GTX 650
8 Gigs of Ram
I've had the computer for almost 3 years now and Im pretty sure you and Vyn have told me it would be easier to buy an entirely new computer than try to upgrade mine.

Well, you could probably recycle your RAM, storage, case and peripherals. The only things you really need to upgrade are CPU, Motherboard and GPU.
Combined the cost should be similar price to a console, while also having better performance.
Skryim with a few mods looks much better than this...
Also @OTG the difference is that there are a large quantity of games that surpass this one in terms of graphics quality that have already been out for a while whereas Mario 64, while it had inferior graphics to FO4, had really good graphics for when it was released.

400$ easy if he is okay with not grabbing the top-of-the-line stuff.
CPU: 140 or 200
MB: 50-100
GPU: 150-300

Yeah, exactly. Even Crysis probably looked better, and that game is 8 ****ing years old by now. Sure, that was a crazy title graphically, but still. There are many games released the last couple of years that look better.

Could you make some suggestions for parts? I could swear you and Vyn told me newer parts might not be compatible with my computer in another thread.
I have no memory of that, but let's focus on what can be done :)
There's one thing you need to check. What Voltage does your RAM run at?
The latest generation of CPUs still support DDR3 (which you use currently), but the problem is that normal/high voltage RAM could potentially burn circuits. You'll want to use low-voltage RAM of 1.35V. Check this in the BIOS or by looking up the product specs for your RAM.
If you don't have that you'd need to spend another 40-50$ on RAM.
And where will you be buying these parts? Newegg?

Really? What are your current parts?
Hmm, yeah, that's kind of old. It should run new games just fine if you don't need them to run at high settings though.
