Let us know your case, plus with a computer like I would upgrade the HDD as well as the motherboard, don't go micro and then you can add 8 more GB of ram since atx boards have 4 slots.

Main concerns atm is getting a new FAN and a graphics card possibly gonna purchase a SSD in the near future.

What's the point though? I doubt he will ever fill a 500gb hard drive and adding more RAM won't make a difference really just more wasted memory for the system.

@OP - Your standard cooling should be fine for now, depending on the case obviously. SSDs are very costly so get one if you really need one but if you install anything onto it, it will run lightning fast.

I would recommend getting a 256/258gb one as its enough for the operating system and a few high maintenance programs like photoshop or maya.

Good luck with your upgrades
