I purchased a PC off Amazon back in October. It can run some games, but I'd like it to run newer games like GTA 5, No Man's Sky, Until Dawn etc. All I would like to know is what I need to upgrade in order to run those games at least at medium quality. My friend recommended buying an i7 core and a GTX 980. What else do I need? Here are the specs my PC has right now: Processor-3.5 GHz FX-Series Six-Core FX-6300
RAM-8 GB SDRAM DDR3
Hard Drive-1 TB SATA III
Graphics Coprocessor-AMD Radeon R7
Card Description-dedicated
Graphics Card-Ram Size 2 GB
Operating System-Windows 10
Processor Brand-AMD
Processor Count-6
Hard Drive Interface-Serial ATA-600
Hard Drive Rotational Speed-7200 RPM
Optical Drive Type-24X DVD±RW DL
My budget for upgrading it is $500 or less. Would it be worth it to upgrade it? Or should I sell it to buy (or build) a completely new PC?

You need to find out the exact gfx card you have. There's no reason the FX-6300 platform can't still play those games. It just needs a good gfx card.
