My build:
CPU:Intel(R) Core(TM) i3-2120 CPU @ 3.30GHz
GPU: ASUS R9 270X DirectCU II TOP 2 GB
RAM: 8GB
I know the r9 is old, but can it handle new games at least on low settings min 50 fps? I know I definitely have to upgrade my cpu, but both ? And what would be the cheapest cpu for getting high fps on new titles?
 
Solution
yes and yes on cpu and gpu, and probably need to upgrade PSU to handle new cpu and gpu as well, is this a dell or prefabricated or home made built ?
most new games require I5 cpus, you could probably find a cheap used one on ebay for your motherboard to use.

my psu is 650w, and why did you straight go to a i5, is it because of the motherboard socket?
