hey,
So I need help with my current PC, I will put specs below, so basically I was wondering what I can upgrade to make it better at running games such as bf4 and gta v because right now i run gta v at medium settings on 30fps. And I want to increase that to solid 60, but i dont know if it would be better to build a new pc in whole or to upgrade my current one.
My budget: 500-700 (UK Pounds)

SPECS:
CPU: Intel Core i3 3220 @ 3.30GHz Ivy Bridge 22nm Technology
RAM: RAM 8.00GB Single-Channel DDR3 @ 665MHz (9-9-9-24)
Motherboard: Gigabyte Technology H61M-DS2 DVI
Graphics: 2048MB NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660 (Palit Microsystems)
Storage: 465GB Western Digital WDC WD5000AAKX-00ERMA0 ATA Device
Optical Drive: ATAPI iHAS120 X ATA Device
Audio: Realtek High Definition Audio

We would also need to know your case make/model and PSU make/model.

Assuming those are acceptable, you could look at something like [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] .

Upgrading your CPU, motherboard and GPU. Adding an SSD because they are invaluable, along with more storage space.
Keep the rest of your current components and you have a pretty decent build here.

Someone else may offer a better suggestion than this but I would be happy to spend my money on it.

You could get the one suggested above or [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

Mine does not support overclocking.

This is also without knowing the PSU and case so they may need to change, also.

No CPU cooler
Motherboard is a waste of money
Old Gen CPU so it will run hotter than 4690K and Skylake CPU's

[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
I would get that, as long as your PSU is up to it and the case is decent that is...
