Hi, i got a fairly old (like 2 year) pc i brought at best buy at the time. It was fine for a good time as i mostly running pretty low spec game like League of legent, heros fo the storm, heartone etc....

But i am actually lookign foward to some bigger AAA title like upcoming The division. And the upcoming occulus rift as well. So definitively, it is time for me to upgrade my pc. Now i get decent bases but defenitively not and expert in the matter so here i am!

current pc specs:

-AMD Radeon HD 6570
-10gb ram
-intel i5-2320 @ 3ghz
-300 W power supply

To my perception, processor still fairly decent, 10gb could be ok, there room to get to 16 however. i think the real problem is the weak GPU there.

Is this could be worth to upgrade to suport 2016 upcoming AAA title and maybe even the rift? Sure don't need to be running on hyper either. Just wonder if there is room way to upgrade in a cost effective way to not actually have to buy xbox one or ps4 to run those game decently. Or it is jsut better to start from scrach and buy a whole new pc?
 
Solution
Your gpu and Psu need a upgrade, a 300w Psu is not much for both cpu gpu. Get a decent brand 80 plus certified.
Your i5 is old, not useless.
