This is my current pc, which was okay back in 2014,

I can run the games I play like overwatch (low, 55fps)

I am wanting to be able to play games like PUBG and overwatch again with higher fps and graphics settings,

Is my current PC upgradable or should I just start from scratch,

Thanks

I would totally recommend starting from scratch. Or if you are on a strict budget you could try and find a prebuild and install a gtx 1050 ti as current gpus are quite overpriced.

you can keep the HDD, Case and PSU (if you go for something as powerful as gtx 1060. It could probably handle a 1070 but I like to be extra safe with no more than about 50%-60% load on PSUs

Everything else is pretty low specs and would better be sold off to supplement the upgrade.

Hope that helps

Start new. Maybe keep the case. 

 

It isn't a good base to upgrade on.

This was my thinking, this thing has lasted me nearly 4 years but now its absolute garbo, thanks for the advice

Yeah, Case is fine. Hard drive should still be fine after 4 years unless it's seem a huge amount of use. PSU should be fine. The CPU series isn't really viable anymore meaning the motherboard needs to be upgraded which would include moving to DDR4.
