Hi, i want to upgrade my computer cause this one is a very old one that i got around 5-6 years ago
The specs are:
Proccesor': Intel(R) Core(TM) i3-2100 CPU @ 3.10 GHz (i know very old)
RAM : 6GB
System: 64-Bit
GPU: AMD Radeon HD 6570
Hard Drive: 1000 GB
And now is the biggest question actually should i try to upgrade this computer or just go and buy a newer one?
Thanks in advice!

Depends on the budget & what you want to do with it. How does this one actual perform for what you want to do with it? If it's still performing at an acceptable level, then don't worry about it being old.

The i3-2100 is still useable, and would not bottleneck a lot better cards than a 6570 - you could likely find a used i5-2500 which would be a worthwhile upgrade, if you found one cheap enough.

As for upgrades - I'd add an SSD for your boot drive, and upgrade the GPU (to what, will depend on your intended uses & budget) - you can always move the SSD and GPU forward with you.

If i buy an Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-2500 just like you said which GPU would be the best upgrade and what size of SSD should i get!
The budget right now is nothing but i will be likely to get around 300-350 USD!

So my recent answer was pretty bad so here is a newer one and i hope better one. I want to play games like Rust,Evolve stage 2, Dead by daylight, fallout 4 and so more games at resolution 1080 so it looks clean and i hope you could find a good upgrade for me cause i'm pretty bad at these stuff!
