Hey all I am trying to decided if I can upgrade my rig or should I just shoot the old girl and berry her in the woods behind the shed. Currently I can only record at 25-30 FPS and games only play at about the same. This is what I have currently:

CPU: AMD Athlon II 3.0GHz Quad-core
Ram: 8GBs
Video Card: Radeon HD 6870 1GB 256-bit GDDR5

Now with what I am running can I simply do and upgrade? If I can what should I upgrade or should I put the old girl down and start a new?

You may have to upgrade your PSU when you upgrade your GPU:
