how much is your budget?

not sure what CPU you have, i had a core 2 quad q9550 o.c. @ 3.4 GHz running rx580 for a while, i finds there are serious bottleneck with the CPU and ram.

since you are running sli, i doubt your psu has issue.
and you can pbbly recycle case, hdd, os,

if you have 100, i would suggest you to get a gt1030,and save some $ next year to upgrade your system. 1080p low settings
200, i would suggest you to get a 1050 or 1050ti, and save some $ next year to upgrade your system. you should be able to run most game in 1080p low settings

300, i would suggest you to get an AMD APU 2200g or 2400g with b350 and 8gb ram. 1080p low settings.
