Hi idontknow808 and unfortunately now you will)

You have a major decision to make. Do I stick with an EOL (end of life) platform or update my system.?
There is no further upgrade to the FX platform that I would recommend.

If you upgrade to AM4 and Ryzen you would notice considerable performance gains. You will however have to also update RAM to DDR4.
Your GPU is also sub par if you wish to play AAA games. 2GB is just not enough.

I’d say the gpu is the weaker of the 2 parts although you didn’t say what resolution. However if trying to play modern AAA games you may also find you want a cpu upgrade.
