I'm trying to upgrade my old MSI Nightblade MI2 014TW so I can run newer games without breaking the bank. Right now, I'm limited to older games like Dragon Age Inquisition and struggle with low settings. I know very little about building PCs, and I'm overwhelmed by all the conflicting advice I find. I'm on a tight budget, looking to invest about $200 or $300 at a time rather than spending a lot all at once. Given that I also have some space constraints with my small PC case, what upgrades can I realistically make? I know I need to start with switching from an HDD to an SSD, but what other changes might improve my gaming experience?

The first upgrade you should definitely consider is swapping your HDD for an SSD. This will drastically improve your loading times and overall system responsiveness, making it feel brand new. Beyond that, your current setup is somewhat outdated; a newer graphics card might be limited by your older CPU, so focus on the SSD first.
Absolutely! Going from an HDD to an SSD is one of the best upgrades you can do. It makes such a difference in how everything runs.
