[SOLVED] Unsure whether it's worth it for me to upgrade or buy new

[BrineBlade]

So, I've been looking to upgrade my HP Pavilion p6-2316s for a while now, as I never minded being on low graphics for gaming as long as it ran well. The only problem is that I fear the APU (AMD A4-3420) is going to drastically bottleneck any graphics card to the point where it won't be running much better than the integrated graphics. The most intensive game I'm hoping to run is Injustice 2, but I have a feeling that it won't be an option. I also am pretty new to the hardware side of things. So at this point, should I try and upgrade my current PC, or wait and get a new one?

I would definitely buy a new platform. This HP pavilion upgrade path isn't too interesting. It all depend on the budget you have.

Not sure what you mean by not too interesting?

All the upgrades for the CPU are quad core. That board support up to 8GB of RAM max. Changing to a new platform would be a lot better but I can't recommend anything I do not know what kind of budget you have for the upgrade.

My budget is $500-600 for a prebuilt, as I don't have the space or time to build one myself
