I have a pretty lame desktop that I'd like to upgrade so it can play some games.

AMD A8-6410 APU with AMD Radeon R5 Graphics, 8GB ram, 2TB standard

I was thinking about getting a better graphics card, but do you think it's a waste to put money in with this processor? I even have a couple 8GB sticks of ram so I could upgrade to 16GB but not sure if I can even run the graphics heavy games with this processor.

Would love some advice.

Thanks. I just bought a new system, was hoping to salvage this one as a secondary gaming desktop if a friend wants to run a mission together or something. I don't really have a budget limit but at some point it's just better to start over, which is what it sounds like you're saying.
