So the pc I have right now is not the best and I have been wondering if I should upgrade or buy/build a new pc.

Here are my specs of my pc right now: 

CPU: AMD A8-5600K

RAM: 8.00GB Dual-Channel DDR3

MOTHERBOARD: MSI A78M-E45 V2

GPU: 768MB ATI AMD Radeon HD 7560D (I don't know if this is a built in graphics from the motherboard *let me know*)

STORAGE: 465GB Seagate ST500DM002-1BD142 and 111GB KINGSTON SH100S3120G (SSD)

CASE: Crappy case

PSU: Crappy power supply, don't know what it is...

 

So, should I buy or build a new pc or upgrade parts? If I should upgrade parts, which parts should I upgrade? I just want to play games with good graphics and frames.

 

Thanks in advance!

New PC,  by the time you have replaced enough bits to make it do something fun you'll only have a handful of bits left. Keep the ssd and case.

I will echo what has been said already. Build a new one, and use your current one as a media pc/ server to connect directly to you tv.

there's nothing in your rig besides the case, storage and maybe ram that is worth reusing, get a new rig and transfer those.
