Upgrading 4yo dell 570

Well your CPU only has a 2.8ghz quad-core an no L3 Cache so I wouldn't expect a lot but with the right setup I suppose you could still see a lower-mid-range gaming rig out of it.

www.pcpartpicker.com <<< Go here this will help you a lot

My suggestion would be to start fresh as it will be easier an better in the long run. The site I listed above shows the parts in the order of which people usually buy them when building a rig.

Here are things to consider....

- CPU with atleast 3.5 Ghz Quad-Core
- Dual-Channel Memory setup with a total of at least 8GB 1866mhz (This Means 2 sticks at 4gb/ea. running 1866mhz)
- Case form Factor needs to fit your Motherboard accordingly (Average Gaming rig is ATX or bigger)
- After-Market Heatsink (The fan that sit on the CPU - Some CPU's don't come with one but most do though you should replace it regardless)

I would not upgrade your GPU right now because anything that would supply significant performance increase will also bottleneck the crap out of your current CPU an would require more than 350W.

You can easily build a computer for just a little more than an Xbox One & PS4 an it will outperform it an make a console look like swiss cheese.

Hope some of what I said makes sense an helps

I have an off the shelf computer as well. I based what I said off of my factory specs because I was quite surprised that I'm now able to run the newest games at decent settings. Even some games like Skyrim I can run at Ultra with everything maxed out (Without Mods though)

Asus Essentio Desktop M11BB-B06 $400 @ BestBuy
----------------------------------------------------------
CPU: A-10 6700 (Also called an APU or IGPU) 3.7ghz Quad-Cored (Boosted 4.3ghz) <<< Boosted is just what the CPU will go up to on its own when under heavy load. Though this specific CPU doesn't get that high for more than few seconds. Regardless it still performs well for me.
Ram: 1x8ghz 1600mhz (off-brand ram)
PSU: ACBel 350 Watt (Low-Quality Factory Stock Power Supply)
Motherboard: Asus F2A55-M/CSM
GPU: EVGA GTX 750 Ti SC (I just installed this tonight an it made my games run amazingly $169.99 ($204.00 after express shipping an extra stuff)
+Plus I got $150.00 in-game credits for ordering that go with 3 pre-select games (They are listed on the EVGA website)
OS: Windows 8.1

Do I recommend you go out there an buy this computer and upgrade it with the GPU that I listed...? No, absolutely not because you can build one with same parts or better parts for what I paid. Trust me I learned my lesson. Regardless I just posted those for your reference on what you should expect out of whatever parts you choose to build with. You don't have to go out and get the latest an greatest stuff to have a rig worthy of playing new games on ultra an high settings with decent frames. Most of the new stuff is catered to people who do a whole lot more than just game. Though there is also a lot of stuff there that is just basically an overkill for people who just got to be a show off an say they spent 100's on there new CPU or GPU or whatever it be.

So with that said I wish you luck an have fun gaming!

Edit: Also I only chose the EVGA GTX 750 Ti Sc because it was the best graphics card I could get that didn't require a 6pin power connector since my cheap factory PSU doesn't have a 6pin connector for a GPU. That is something to consider when choosing a PSU is the connectors that it has. It can determine what you will be able to power regardless of how much wattage the PSU has. Just keep that in mind.

I've been told L3 Cache isn't that important but I've also been told it does benefit higher end gaming. My GTX 750 Ti Sc that I installed this morning has been doing wonders. Though of course I don't have Titanfall but I've seen several videos on youtube now stating that the EVGA GTX 750 Ti Sc plays titanfall better than the Xbox One. Though that may also rely on the processor an ram that you have as well.

Overclocking IMO is for ethusiats only. It's like taking an everyday commuter car down a open highway as fast as the speedometer reads for miles on in. Yeah the speedometer reads 120mph an you got up to 125-130mph. Was it worth the extra wear on the car? Probably not. It's basically just for curiosity because the risk of overclocking isn't usually worth the benefit which in most cases is miniscule at best.

So I wouldn't take any chances an ruin a perfectly good CPU but if you are into that go for it your decision. Personally If I had extra money an already had a computer that was doing good I'd go ahead and start a new build. Start off with the CPU, Motherboard & Case an go from there.

Also If you are into the GTX series they will probably release more higher end cards later this year sometime on the same architecture as the GTX 700 series that will be more suited for serious gaming. When I say serious I'm talking about multiple monitors an stuff. Things only dedicated enthusiasts usually pursue for a gaming rig. Also, they have G-sync that is gaining popularity but right now there is only like 1 monitor that supports it. Not sure what it actually does.

anyways enough rambling just be wise an most importantly take your time an do hours an hours of research before making a purchase. So you know the odds are in your favor that you are going to get what you wanted for the right price

Thanks, will do
