Upgrade suggestions?

Hello forum

 

Was hoping some of your guys and girls could help me decide on what I should upgrade first!

 

I've had this PC for quite some time now, back then it was a pretty decent first gaming rig. Now, it's just not up to par with any of the games so I need an upgrade asap. 

Here are my specs; 

 

Operating System

Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit SP1

 

CPU

AMD FX-4100

Zambezi 32nm Technology

 

RAM

4.00GB Dual-Channel DDR3 @ 535MHz (7-7-7-20)

 

Motherboard

ASUSTeK Computer INC. M5A78L-M LX PLUS (AM3R2)

 

Graphics

SK-26H730S (1366x768@60Hz)

512MB ATI Radeon HD 4800 Series

 

Storage

596GB Hitachi HDT721064SLA360 ATA Device (SATA)

 

Any help would be amazing <3

I would sell this machine as is as a mainstream daily web browsing HTPC steam gamer (what ever i don't know how you should market it...just cheap PC that is working i guess) and start a new build...nothing is really worth keeping IMHO.

How much would you say this machine is worth?

I'd pay maybe $100 for it. Might be able to get $200 though.

that varies a lot depending on your location but i would say probably around 100 to 120$ in the US.

This would be an amazing replacement...this one can drive any games very well on very good settings at good framerates:
