I would almost suggest building an entirely new system, and just moving your storage and graphics cards over.

You can squeeze a Ryzen 3 1200 processor, a new motherboard, and a decent graphics card under $500, as demonstrated by Linus in the video below.

If your games leverage CPU power more (GTA V or similar), consider a better processor (Ryzen 5). If your games leverage GPU power more, consider a better GPU (1060 6GB or 1070 on special promo pricing).

Hope this helps!

You might be better off just building a new computer. The only thing that could be kept is the Storage. The Ram would be fine, but modern mobos accept only DDR4.
