Budget Gaming PC w/ Salvaged Parts

[ncsustylee]

I'm looking to finally make the plunge into building my own system and was looking for some help. I started having some issues with my current PC, kicked the crap out of it, now it looks like I forced my hand to finally upgrade to an actual PC. Is there anything in my current PC that I could salvage to save some cost for a new build?

Current System:
Dell Optiplex 380 (small form factor)
https://www.dell.com/us/business/p/optiplex-380/pd
Windows 7 Pro, 32 bit
Pentium Dual core E5800 @ 3.2 ghz
4GB DDR3 ram
ATI Radeon HD 5570 (1024MBytes)
235W PSU

I'm looking for something that can play CS:GO on high settings, or at least some settings that'll get me over a steady 150+ fps. I currently play on absolute bare minimum settings and eek out around 40fps. I might look to play some MMOs (wildstar, gw2), I've just never had a system capable of playing those games on enjoyable/playable settings.

I'm looking at about ~$500 budget, but if I can pull anything out of my current to cut some costs, I'm all for it. That budget is also flexible if anyone thinks an extra $100/$150 will make a big difference. I have all the peripherals and don't need an OS. Thanks in advance!

You can keep your RAM, Windows license (just download 64bit oem image and re-use) and hard drive.
Rest you will have to buy.

I suggest just getting a new graphics card and PSU to start at least. The CPU can still handle the game decently I'd imagine.

Thanks guys. I'm thinking the CPU is what my current problem is, actually (I kicked that thing hard as hell). Was going to swap that out with another to verify, but I'm at the point where I need to upgrade anyway.

Should I go with:

Or are they both dated? I really have no idea what I'm doing here, so hard to pick parts myself without knowing what works best with what.
