Completely new build or not?

Hello,

my GPU died recently and I am thinking about what I want to do now.
My System:
AMD X6 1090T
ASRock 880g Extreme 3
4 Gb Kingston Hyper X Ram 1333mhz CL7 (i think)
520w Seasonic 80+ Certified psu
GTX 560 Ti (dead)
1Tb Samsung Spinpoint F3

Since I don't plan on spending that much money I was wondering how good my System (expecially my CPU) still performs. Would I be able to play recent Games for a few years if I'd just upgrade my ram to 8gb (or 16 if necessary) and throw in a rx470 (or rx 480/ gtx 1060 if that would not make the rest of my system a bottleneck)? Maybe I could also add a SSD for Windows and my most commonly played games.
Or would it be better to go for a completely new build? I am not sure about that since I don't know how much I can/ want to spend. The Pentium G4560 seems to offer a great value for price and would fit nicely into a 500€ build but will it give me and edge over my x6 1090t? Or would i have to spend more like 700€ to get a noticeable performance gain in that regard?

What are your thoughts on that?

Greetings,
Slix

If you look at the passmark scores for the two CPUs the single threaded performance is about 75% faster. The total passmark scores are not that dissimilar. Single core performance will usually make the most improvement in gaming. Considering you are also 1333 (or 1600) RAM, then you will probably see improvement with the Pentium.
