My current pc that i have had for about 4 years is starting to get really slow in terms of startup and running video games.

Current spec:
CPU= AMD FX-4100 quad core 3.60 GHz
RAM = 8.00GB
Graphics= 1024MB ATI AMD Radeon HD 6700 Series
Hardisks = x2 500gb HDD's
PSU = Storm 600w

mothgerboard = gigabyte technology, M68MT-s2

I think i need a new one if i'm to play new games that are coming out such as Squad, just cause 3 and far cry 4 without them looking like minecraft.

First of all would it be wise to sell my current parts on ebay or sell the entire system somewhere?
Or is it a bit cheeky to sell a PC that i know is knackering?

And finally if you're feeling super helpful, im in need of a new PC and have a budget of about £600 [$900] and would love it if someone could find a system they think would suit my needs. (my needs being videos games and i want it to have an ssd.)

I already have a mouse, monitor and keyboard.
I want to be able to run the games mentioned above, is that a realistic proposition?

All comments are appreciated

Really solid build IMO
Sell the PC if you want, you probs won't get much but I'd pay something for it, £10 maybe? (actually being serious here)

That SSD has only 120gb space, where as my local disk currently has 150gb worth of files inside. Is that alarming?What i may do is not buy a different computer but overhaul my current system, so would getting that graphics card be okay with the rest of my components? (ram, cpu) I currently have 2x500gb hdd so i could keep those for gaming? How much of a difference would my current processer make compared to the one you have suggested? And do you think keeping my current ram would be a good idea? they are 2x4gb btw. Is that graphics card compatible with gigabyte technology, M68MT-s2 motherboard?

You've probably got extra files that aren't needed, windows only needs about 30GB of space. it also has a hard drive
