Budget (including currency):Around $1000 USD

Country: United States

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Warzone, Rocket Leauge, WoW, nothing too serious other than games and possibly recording.

Other details: Hello all! I built my PC around 5 years ago and haven't updated any parts since other than my 2nd monitor.  I have just recently noticed a decrease in performance when it comes to newer games, and I'm asking for help on what I should upgrade first/ everything I should upgrade.  I posted this earlier and was told pretty much to sell everything except my ssd and psu, and had set my budget to be quite low to replace the other parts.  I've increased the budget as I've realized it's probably going to be more expensive than I was expecting to get exactly what I want.  Also as I was told to sell my leftover parts I was curious if there was somewhere I should go to do this or just ebay or something.

 

Current specs are: 

Radeon RX 470 Graphics Card
AMD FX-8350 Eight-Core Processor
ASUS M5A99FX PRO R2.0
SANDISK X400 SSD
EVA 650 G2 gold standard power supply
2 Sticks of 4gb RIPJAWS brand RAM

 

I also have 1TB hard drive I bought but have not installed yet.

Thank you!
