Two years ago, I bought a prebuilt PC for $700. At the time I didn’t really think of getting a custom PC because no one in my family works with tech. But recently I have been very annoyed with how bad my computer truly is. On a GOOD day, my computer can play rocket league at a peak of 60 FPS on the LOWEST POSSIBLE VIDEO SETTINGS. I really love the game and I have over 800 hours in it already. But I feel like the FPS issues makes it less fun and really hard to deal with (video quality is annoying too). This is the prebuilt PC I currently have: https://www.google.com/aclk?sa=l&ai=DChcSEwjDld-k37DYAhUMkn4KHR3nAucYABAQGgJwYw&sig=AOD64_1qHV8KSqXJRUO88KXAz7FhGtaIRw&ctype=5&q=&ved=0ahUKEwjgsNqk37DYAhWkTN8KHT-0AEUQ2CkI-QQwBg&adurl=


Should I sell my PC for some more money to buy a better PC along with the $250 I already have saved? Or should I buy a better graphics card for the 250. (I got a good deal for a 1070 for $250, but I feel like my CPU is going to limit it a TON, making it not worth buying.)

I'm not completely sure, but after doing a bit of research on your computer you got I'd think you'd probably benefit the most out of a 960 (Though I haven't looked at their prices). But a lot of people are saying the PSU isn't particularly good on that so you might want to look into getting a better quality PSU as well (though just to be sure you might want to consult the PSU experts).
