help with pc gaming and hardware

[Josh4Something]

Hello guys, this is my first attempt to asking anyone for help. Please be warned, I am very new to learning about specs and the hardware. So i play casual games on my casual pc and I want to get into more "graphical" games from H1Z1 to Ark: Survival Evolved and other games in that genre. Now I will list my PC Specs below and I want your opinions as to if I should just upgrade my current pc or start a whole new build. Thanks guys. (And if you think I should upgrade my pc, can you suggest some things that can help me run games like those listed above, please?)

Specs
CPU: Intel Core i5-2320 3.00 GHz (Quad Core)
Video Card: Integrated Intel HD Graphics
Ram: 8.00 GB's
Dedicated Video memory: 128 MB

If there's any more information you need, please ask and I will look into it. Thanks again

Definitely the video card. Maybe look into a buying a 750ti or 960 GPU. Bear in mind that you might have to change your power supply as well to get the nessercery connectors for the GPU power

How old are your current components? If the whole pc is a few years old i would be tempted to start from scratch unless the parts were premium when new.

Which PSU do you have? If you want to just upgrade certain bits then that has to be a good one or you put your new parts at risk.

Is this a budget build? If so then maybe you can get away with just a couple upgrades. If you have the money i would probably opt for a new build.
