PC Upgrade??

[ZiRoSenpai]

So I have $500 to upgrade my PC and I'm not quite sure what to upgrade or if I even can/should upgrade. I mostly play League of Legends and Overwatch but my friends are planning to play games like For Honor and GTA 5 and etc. I want to be able to play with them as well! So here are my specs:

 

Motherboard: MSI 970A - G43

 

CPU: AMD FX-6300 & Stock Cooler

 

Memory: 2x4GB Corsair Vengeance

 

Storage: WD 10ezex 1TB

 

GPU: NVIDIA GTX 750 TI

 

PSU: LEPA MC 600W

 

P.S. I bought this from a friend somewhere in December of 2015 for $400 and have been using it since then. Was it worth it's costs?

first ask yourself, do you need an upgrade. are you getting as much fps as you want?

[Brooksie359]

well the problem is that both the cpu and the gpu would need to be upgraded to start getting a worth while performance increase. i mean you could upgrade your gpu but it will bottleneck with that cpu in quite a few games. so the choice is do you want to upgrade the cpu or the gpu first?

If it was me I would upgrade the gpu or ram.  Also consider getting an ssd if you need more storage as well. First thing i would get is 960 ti gpu.
