recomendation for upgrade

[pato.llaguno]

so i have this  its a bit old but i want to know some opinions on what should i do with this machine. i want to be able to game something like CS GO maybe some destiny 2. If i bought a 1070 should it be a good enough build? or should i consider building a whole new system? im trying to do this on the lowest budget possible. if i needed to get a new build i might as well get my gpu first and get it inside this machine and start swapping stuff little by little, maybe buy next the cpu and mobo. after that decent ram etc. opinions on this?

Used i7 and a 1060 6GB or 1070.

cpu is fine, get new card

slap a 1050ti in there and you'll play all the games you want at 1080p

i second the used i7, a 3770k and 1070 goes a long way

As @kelvinhall05 and @lefudgelover666 said get a used i7 and a 1060 6gb or 1070

JUMP ON A USED 3770 (locked i7) and enjoy.

Done.. Finished... Awesome

 

I just built a Small form factor prebuild system (Dell Battlebox - GTX1050Ti)

i7 3770 / 16GB / SSD+HDD
8 Threads keep it super relevant in gaming, while not hitting the MAX FPS a lot to newer CPU's, you are still GPU bound almost always in almost all games.

Youtube the Dell Battle Box multiple games with this Dell i7 3770 + 1050Ti combo.

You'll see just how well the CPU holds up.

Worst Case Example. - Assassins Creed - Syndicate can use up to 80-90% of the i7 at 3.7Ghz, this is the most taxing CPU usage I saw being run on it, still had 99% GPU usage the entire time...

Many games won't use more than 4 threads, but the ones that do, this i7 benefits greatly over i5' CPU's and holds up to typical systems very well with midrange GPU offerings.

get the 1070, then get a used i7/Xeon for $100 on eBay if possible.

Thanks for all the answers, and by having a PSU True Basix 480Watts would be enough for the GPU?
