I would probably say your GPU. You never posted your motherboard so I would recommend that if not compatible with newer GPUs or CPUs. Your RAM is fine at 8 gigs right now as most games require no more then 8 as long as you are not rendering things with after effects. 500 Gigs of space is normally a little shallow if you play a large amount of games and require a lot of space to download them, but otherwise that is fine.
Games are usually heavy dependent on your CPU and GPU and right now, your cpu is good for moderate settings but your GPU would be where you PC is lacking.

i would recommend getting a i7 4770k or 4790k processor and if your GPU is 4gb that should be good enough other than that memory needs to be increased instead of 500g maybe 2t western digital 2t is about $65

I can't see anything of your hardware details except your CPU and GPU.
You should upgrade your GPU, but i don't know your RAM (DDR3, clock rates, etc.) and your hard discs (hdd, ssd?).

Not slating your computer pal, but if you're gonna upgrade something like your GPU, you're gonna want to upgrade your CPU and maybe your PSU as you haven't listed it.

You can't possibly know that since OP hasn't listed his GPU.

You clearly don't have a clue. I'm not even going to bother explaining how wrong this is.
CodeNashor wrote I can't see anything of your hardware details except your CPU and GPU.You definitely can't see what GPU he has since he hasn't listed it. His RAM doesn't matter, we know it's 8GB DDR3 which is sufficient, regardless of clock speed. His storage details are at the bottom, no SSD and he has a 600GB HDD from the looks of it.

OP-Stop making threads about this since you pay no attention to the replies you get anyway. You're wasting our time. You've been told several times by several people that we can't help you without knowing your full system specs, as well as your upgrade budget and currency.

Wellll technically I can know as he stated a r7 200 series. The most decent card in that series is a r7 265 and I doubt he has that since he says his gaming is crap. So yet again I say, upgrade the GPU which would deem impossible without the proper PSU as well.

OfficialOrbit wroteThe R7 200 series ranges from the R7 240 to the R7 265. The R7 265 is a fantastic little card, especially for it's price and will run games on mid settings with ease. Of course I can say that you don't know which GPU OP has, because you don't. He hasn't listed his exact card. Regardless, the GPU he has was recently released. His CPU, however, is 7 years old. Ever though his ancient CPU was holding back his GPU? Don't down vote my post when I was right. Actually, down vote if you want, just looks pathetic and shallow in all honesty. Definitely don't PM me asking me not to down vote your posts that I don't agree with or that are not useful. As you can see anyway, OP has made multiple threads the exact same and paid no attention to any replies he's got. He's wasting time and space anyway, so it doesn't really matter.You can't possibly know that since OP hasn't listed his GPU.

100% agree to where he should upgrade his CPU. I did not take the time to research the CPU and see that it is far outdated. OP is in the rough as a new motherboard would also have to be purchased to suffice for newer CPUs sockets. Clearly he does not care as neither of his posts have a reply considering his thoughts or updated information.
