Am I betterof buying a new PC or should I just upgrade the graphixs card? Does the GTX 960 Asus strix go in my Mobo, and how would I have to connect it? And what are those 2 connectors in 2 of my pictures? I am really a confused PC noob right now.
Thanks, much love!

You have a fantastic processor, this is good news for you because that means you don't need a new PC. What you do need is two things, a new GPU and a new PSU, because both of the ones you have are pretty low quality. Do you have a budget so I can make a proper recommendation? Also this image will explain all of the connectors in your PC. Check out some guides on how to build a PC or how to upgrade a graphics card so you know what you're doing.

Nice to hear! I have actually thought of a GPU, it would be the ASUS GTX 960 Strix 2GB. If that doesn't fit, would maybe a 760 one fit? And I have some sort of budget, but I would rather not put too much money on a PSU of course. Just so it would work well with that GPU.
If those Graphic Cards won't fit, could you maybe recommend one? And if it does, what PSU would you recommend?
I would absolutely want to hear your advice! You seem to know what you are talking about! :)

Check out this tier list for a PSU recommendation, just make sure it's 450W+ and is tier 1 or 2.

As for your GPU, it appears as if the card you mentioned above would fit, but you might be able to find an R9 290X for cheaper, and it will give marginally better performance, unless you're a team green guy, in which case the 960 is fine. If you're worried about it not fitting, take a measurement of your case where the GPU would go, the 960 Strix is approximately 8.47 Inches long or 21.52 Centimeters. Extra dimensions are 8.47 " x 4.77 " x 1.61 " Inch 21.52 x 12.12 x4.09 Centimeter. Again, from what I can see the card should fit without an issue.
