How can I upgrade my computer

[rhuckabaa]

I have a computer with the following components. How can I upgrade it to play Fortnite and Dead by Dawn? I have just started out and bought this computer on Ebay to play Roblox but I'm looking to upgrade to play other games. Any help is appreciated.
CPU Processor: AMD A8-5500B APU with Radeon HD graphics, 3200 Mhz, 2 cores
Motherboard: ASRock FN2A68M-HD+
Ram: 8 GB
AMD Radeon HD 7560D video card
Logisys PS480D-BK power supply

You will want a quad core APU/CPU at least 3.5GHz and a discrete gfx card; like a GTX 1050/1050 Ti. Your PSU is a poor grade with a weak +12V rail (+12V rail powers all the heavy load stuff), so that should to be changed as well if you go with the GTX 1050/1050 Ti. If you keep the same Logisys PSU, drop back to a GT 1030 for safety.

Well, there's quite a bit to upgrade. The CPU, motherboard, memory and video card(that PSU is pretty old and not the best brand to use either). I'd say it's about time to build a new PC or possibly buy a pre-built system(may get a better deal that way).

Well, Fortnite is not that hard to run compared to something like PUBG. So I think a videocard upgrade would allow you to play the game. I suggest a GTX 1050 or RX 460 or RX 560, whichever costs less. A GT 1030 will also work, but it's much less powerful so you'd need to reduce settings and/or resolution and/or play at lower framerate.

Your power supply is a bit worrisome. That's the kind of cheap power supply that you can't count on. Be prepared to replace it. 480W power supply with 16A on the 12V output is not good. That CPU is 65W and a 1050 is 75W. That's a big chunk of your available power right there.
