hi i was just wondering if it was possible in any ways/paths to upgrade my current pc.. i just want to be able to run dota2 and csgo a little better if possible.

right now i can play csgo with 60-90 ping in game MINIMUM game setting.

ive never really built one before but i am open to giving it a try. just looking to better my gameplay without spending too much :)

current specs(it is not a gaming computer + it was bought built):
processor: AMD FX(tm)-670k Quad-Core Processor 3.7gh
motherboard: Hewlett-Packard 2B17 (P0)
graphics card: 2048MB ATI AMD Radeon R7 240
ram: 8.00GB Single-Channel DDR3 @ 801MHz
storage: 931GB Seagate hdd

is my processor also possible to OC?

thank you so much! have a good day

question: if it was possible in any ways/paths to upgrade my current pc..?
answer : No.

Only thing I could see is a better video card like a 1050ti or a 1060 (though not sure your board/psu can handle it)

best idea would be get a new system looking like this; items marked with 0.00$ are the item re-used from your system.

here is what my choice of cpu compares to yours (from passmark benchmarking)
