My computer is starting to really show its age. I'd like to give it a little upgrade but I'm not sure where to spend my money. I still love playing Skyrim, and would love for that to run more smoothly. It also seems like I won't be able to play current generation games on lowest setting now. I'm on a budget of around $50-$75 (don't laugh ) so I'm not expecting to get the best of anything, just a decent upgrade. If something also looks weird about my specs then let me know because I don't know what too much of it means.
Here are my specs via speccy:
