Hello everyone..
I am from Indonesia, this is my 1st post so i hope i'm doing it fine.

I need help about considering what to upgrade on my oldie pc.

My current system is:
asus p8h61 m lx r2.0
4x2 gigs ram
i3 2120
R7 240 ddr5 2GB
I dont know about my psu, i'm not sure about the wattage.

Edit: my psu is 500W, Advance Digital

I do play online games everyday, for more specific it is Overwatch. For now, i could get 70fps low setting but render scale to 67% (pretty pixellated, i forget my in game res but it is 1440xsomething).

What is the 1st component to upgrade if i look bugdet?

CPU?
I've search about i5 2400/2500/3470 and i think the ivy bridge kinda hard to be found here.

GPU?
750ti or rx 470? Or other?

I wont upgrade both at same time, ill save up for second component tho.

Thanks in advance.

Edit: my goal is to play Overwatch on med high setting more than 120 fps

Your cpu is fine for overwatch, your gpu is not.

We do need to know about your power supply. I would suggest the rx 460 over the 550, its a bit more powerful and can handle overwatch at 1080p / mid to high, 60fps

I suggest the RX550. The rx470 is a huge jump plus you dont know your PSU which the rx470 requires a good 450W.

The rx550 draws 20 watts more and the i5-3450 draws 10 less. The 10 extra watts should be ok for most PSU's.

Don't buy or listen to anybody until you open your case and get the numbers off the power supply.
You need to post that first, make and model number and how many amps it has listed on the +12 volt rail.
