Is my PC worth upgrading?

Hello there. I have processor AMD A4 5300 with Radeon HD graphics, Biostar A58MD motherboard, 4GB DDR3 ram, 500gb HDD from my old laptop and 1TB HDD. I guess case is good, it has 4 fans.

Is it worth upgrading or I should just start from scratch? I don't play many new PC games, mostly strategy ones. It does run my favorite games Europa Universalis 4 and Men of War Assault Squad 2 on minimal settings. I also do some animations and video editing, it takes a while to render, but it is possible. What would be the best I could push out of my current computer with least investment? Thanks for answers.

I'd save up the RAM maybe and the drive. Rest scrap it

Agreed if your staying AMD you might as well upgrade when RYZEN comes out on the new chipset.

I would rather agree on what we share, than fight on what we don't. - Myself
