Question Gaming PC upgrade

[kon.stamoulis.00]

My rig:
Intel i5 2300 2.8GHz
8GB dual channel ddr3 hyperx 1600mhz
ASRock h61 pro btc
Msi gaming 4G R9 380
Corsair vs650
(The box has 5 fans and is well ventilated)

Approximate Purchase Date: this month

Budget Range: not more than 300€

System Usage from Most to Least Important: gaming, surfing the internet, watching series

Screen: I have a 50inch uhd TV (with hdr) which I use for the pc



Parts to Upgrade: GPU,CPU, mobo, RAM.



Location: Greece


Why am I Upgrading: I tried playing assassin's Creed Odyssey but I cannot because at 1080p with medium settings (some of them low/off others high) I have fps drops at 17fps.

(I don't know if I need a new GPU or a new CPU, mobo, ram or all of them. When I play the game the GPU is running 100% with oc at 1120MHz core clock and 1600mhz memory clock and the CPU isn't running at 100%)

So what I want is to be able to play games like ac Odyssey at least at 1080p at high/ultra settings with 30+ fps. 4k gaming would be good but maybe out of budget.

Thanks in advance.

4k gaming couldn't be anymore out of your budget. For 300€ there isn't much room for you to upgrade but I would say a newer GPU like rx590 or 1660 might be the best bet for you

Ok thanks for your reply. So you believe that the GPU cannot keep up with the game even though the CPU is older than the GPU?
