Hello,
I built a system form myself in 2015, and it's finally having issues. I need to upgrade the GPU or buy a new system. The motherboard is a Gigabyte Z170M-D3H-CF, and I currently have a Radeon R9 380. The system still meets my needs, but it is starting to show it's age. I'm looking at an RX 5600 XT or 6600, but they are not cheap. I also am going to need a new CPU. If I upgrade the two of them it's looking like $5-600 CAD. Do you guys think it's worth the money or should I just get a whole new system?

Suggestions?

Please list the specs to your build like so:

CPU cooler:
Motherboard:
Ram:
SSD/HDD:
GPU:

include the age of the PSU apart from it's make and model. BIOS version for your motherboard at this moment of time.

Do you guys think it's worth the money or should I just get a whole new system?
That answer would depend on what you currently have to work with, hence the need for full system's specs above.

Issues: There is a green screen of death when watching video streaming online. There is some game instability, and there is no pattern. There are random games at random times. It's mostly just getting too old. The GPU is no longer supported by reason. I also need a new CPU. I can't upgrade to Windows 11 with what I have.
