Should I Consider Upgrading?

[Seaghh]

My PC is mainly used for light-gaming but I occasionally like to be able to record something, as of now I play Counter-Strike:Global Offensive, I love the game and am wondering whether or not if I should invest in an entire new build. Here are my Specs.

CPU : AMD FX 4130 Quad Core
GPU : AMD Radeon™ HD 6670
Motherboard : Gigabyte SKT-AM3 78LMT-USB3
I don't have an SSD
PSU : ATX 500B
8GB of Ram (standard stuff forgot brand)
1TB harddrive
I get about 40 frames on CS:GO on 1920x1080 what should I upgrade to?
Thanks

Your CPU line is pretty old, I would invest in an entirely new build. The only thing you could probably keep is the hard drive and PSU. But depending on the PSU, you may want to consider upgrading. What is your budget and country?

I have no idea how I will save? I am 15 just looking for something to run high frames on CS:GO. Country England, UK.

a graphics card upgrade to at least something like the 1050 ti or its AMD counterpart. but odds are that CPU will hold you back

See I knew this would be an issue, but couldn't I simply throw a new CPU and GPU in there and we'll be all fine?

Save what? You could possibly upgrade your GPU only, to a GTX 1050, but you are still limiting yourself.

You could upgrade to a higher FX chip, but it will still be 4-5 years old, so I don't think you should do it. But that's just my 3 cents.

I'm literally only going to be playing CS:GO my question is will upgrading to a 1050 be worth for what I need? I just want at least 200 stable so I can get a 144hz monitor!

just google CS:go with your CPU model and 1050 ti with the resolution you want to run it at
