You can upgrade the CPU on it, and that alone should help you quite a bit. Your graphics card is still desent for today and you could wait another year to upgrade that, which may require a new PSU.

Yes try the AMD FX-8150 which will not even require a new motherboard or PSU.

Edit: Now that I look at it it has 2X the cores but actually has the same clock rate so hold on that thought of getting a new CPU. It will certainly come of great help to have 8 cores, though, and probably as more transistors. What is causing you to wan to upgrade?

Like to play on high. Generally pc specific titles have both xbox one and ps4 but in some respects slightly underwhelmed by them specifically in fps

Looking at buying these upgrades in future. Can anyone confirm if good choices.
Amd-fx6350 -£96.95
Gigabyte 970a-ud3p - £71.51
Corsair cx750 builder series bronze psu-£59.98 (I know this might be higher than needed but thought about future)

I picked this motherboard because of optical output for connection to onkyo surround sound system.
