This. The FM2 Socket especially is **meh** for gaming performance especially by today's standards. You'd be best off saving until you have ~$200-$300 and then from there get a decent Ryzen CPU (Probably the Ryzen 5 1600), decent B350 (or A320 if you don't Overclock) board, and something like 8GB of memory depending on cost. If you wanted you could also go the Intel route, but I'm not sure the prices are low enough for what you'd be looking at.
 


Just save up for a rebuild really. Nothing in there except for maybe a harddrive is worth reusing.
