This is a shitty mobo which doesn't have the (physical) space for it.
New mobo = new CPU (because current one uses an outdated socket type). Old RAM will probably work in a new mobo but it's basically an excuse to upgrade to DDR4 (I'd just need to buy 2x8GB sticks if I wanna upgrade to 16GB, it's not much more expensive to make it DDR4 sticks).
All in all I'm in for about a grand for that, a little over if I wanna get a watercooler for the CPU (~$350-400 CPU, ~$300-350 mobo, ~$200 RAM, ~$120(?) water cooling for CPU). New monitor I've been looking at will run me about $750, looking at a mechanical keyboard which will be ~$150 too.
Basically only bit I'd keep is my GPU (which is basically what's keeping this rig together, an otherwise barely above average comp backed by a fucking powerhouse GPU)
