Your current PC is basically just as good. Slightly weaker CPU, however a slightly better graphics card. No need for that I'd say.

I would go with an intel processor over than FX because of the age of it. Something like an i3 6100 or i5 6xxx would offer much better performance, but I think that would go out of your budget. 🙁

Its not a big enough improvement to be worth it, wait until you can make a bigger jump

 

[Metalauxilia]

Most here would agree save up and wait a year or two then there should be a big enough performance gap to be worth the serious upgrade.

whats your actual budget? athlon II X4 is getting long in the tooth

Believe it or not, the architecture of the R7 360 is the same as the HD 7850. They were released last year, but they use the same technique.

this build assumes you'll re-use the 7850 (which should do most games at medium-high settings) and re-use your hard drive

what country are you in?

Bulgaria,and I think it might be better,if I only get a new CPU? What do you think?

 

[ScrewySqrl]

I listed a build above. basically, keep your current hdd and gpu, and add the parts I listed. an i3 has 2 core but 4 threads, and is blazing fast compared to the athlon II x4.
