Bought my pc off craigslist 5 or so years ago. Have upgraded video and processor once. Am having a hard time playing newer games. What do you guys think is worth keeping and what should I get to upgrade? Thanks!

Which R7 is that? 250?

The whole platform is starting to get pretty dated, some more ram and a better gpu could get you by for most games that aren't cutting edge. Other than that I'd be looking at speccing out a new PC.

^ What he said.

The only things I'd necessarily keep would be the Drive (upgrade to an SSD and use your current one for storage), and if it's a good one, your monitor. Actually, even if it's a low-quality one, still nice to have as a spare.
