Go to solution Solved by Najuno,

Your hardware is okay all you needed is a new GPU.

 

With your budget, if you can stretch it for 59€ you could go this route:

of course this is Alternate so they aren´t the cheapest but super reliable.

 

or this in example:

Mindafctory sells this card for 499€.

 

or if you like AMD better:

About 30 € more than you estimated but a good card.

Hey guys,

 

I built my PC wich you can see in my Profile in July 2012 and right now I got to a point where the performance is not enough anymore.

Now i would really appreciate your help to determine if it is worth upgrading my PC or if i should start by scratch.

 

If it is worth upgrading i would really need advice which Graphic Card would be a good fit and if i should buy new RAM for my PC.

My budget would be around 500 $.

 

Thanks allot for your Help in Advance and please excuse my bad English!

A GPU upgrade would definetely your best option, maybe together with a HDD if you're tight on space. A 390(x) would be a good choice!

It's not a bad rig. I would get a new GPU, maybe something like a 980. CPU is alright, maybe add 1TB storage?

Edited to a 980 because I'm tired and meant to say that.
