There aren't too many things that are easily changed. Your graphics card, upgrade to an SSD, upgrade your RAM.
Beyond that, a new motherboard/CPU/RAM combo is the only significant upgrade.

I am not a gamer, so I can't comment on limitations in any specific game. BUT the 960 + the Xeon is what you have. So you should be able to determine how well the pair work together. The specific games you play, the resolution you run and the game options you choose, in addition to the hardware you have will determine your performance.

ok thank you
all i can say is i will have to upgrade everything in order to have best frames..i have monitor with 120hz refresh rate..but i cant have 60 fps in any new game on high graphics..

Yep, you need a faster video card and faster CPU to run new games on high at 60 fps. Your CPU came out almost 10 years ago, the 960 5 years ago. Without that, lower your setttings.

thanks guys.. really helpful answers..i don't know enough about pc and i learned everything by myself so i'm just trying to do how much i can..i upgraded everything by myself so i was thinking maybe i did something wrong about cpu or gpu..but they are just too old for new games..
