How good is this PC for gaming? Would it be worth it to upgrade to a qx6800 2.9ghz?
Are there are other parts I should consider upgrading?

Hi there ebayordersebay,
Your PC is too old to support games of this gen. You need to upgrade a lot, except your SSD and HDD. One thing you have to notice that your ssd is of only 32GB capacity. Needs an upgrade too.

IMO, the following needs upgrade,
Processor, Mobo, RAM (DDR4), PSU with a gaming monitor or standard 1080p monitor.

Well, I'm suggesting you an upgrade. I'll call it a MID Range Gaming RIG.

The 750ti maybe a passable 720p gpu now. But that core 2 quad 6700 is really old imo. Not suitable for today's games.
The only parts that can be salvaged are the HDD and gpu.
Look at a ryzen 1300X build with a 4 ram slot b350 mobo and a 2x4gb 3000mhz ram kit. Pair that up with the 750ti and get a corsair cxm 450 psu along with a generic case.
