Hello, as the title says i am looking upgrade or buy a new PC depending on which would work out cheaper.
Ideally i want a PC that can run a lot of games well and would like to see how much it would cost. A few games i would particularly like to run at high settings are PUBG, ARMA 3 and GTA V.
Here is a screenshot of my current components: [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
With these current components, i can barely run ARMA 3 with some mods and would appreciate any help. I would be looking to try and get some discounts when the Black Friday deals hit. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

You need to give us a budget and currency to work with.
You'll also need to tell us all of your specs, all we know from that screenshot is your CPU and how much RAM you have. Download Speccy and post a screenshot, as well as tell us the make and model of both your case and PSU.
Will you just be using the system for gaming?
What monitor(s) will you be using?
Will you overclock?

Ok, here is some more info. I will be using Pounds (£) and will be using the system primarily for gaming with some college work done now and then using Office 365 which will probably run fine as it runs on this dump which i have currently.
Here are some more screenshots, the second one is the screenshot of Speccy like you asked:

My current case is a Vantage GC Midi Tower shown here: [url=Case]http://prntscr.com/hc5kx9[/url]
I've not been able to open the case to view the PSU but i have this power adapter plugged into my PC if this helps: [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
As for monitors, i have a screenshot of the monitor i purchased, however it is from the American Amazon not the British and i have two: [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
Finally, i am not sure whether i would overclock or not, never really looked into that kinds stuff, only just entered the PC market a few years ago and not played much but want to get into it more now.
Thanks for helping, im not sure that you can find many people that are willing to help like this so i really appreciate your efforts.
To be honest, i think it would be a lot cheaper and easier to get a new system as my current one is outdated, do you think i would be able to find a system that would be able to run ARMA 3 modded on ultra settings for under £600/£700?
