Upgrading Current Rig

[Dalejordan]

Hello all,

Hoping someone can point me in the right direction - I'm pretty basic when it comes to computers if I'm honest. I use my PC casually for games like Day Z, I bought it very cheap at £250 just to have something to use, it worked liked a charm and as time has gone by it seems to get slower & slower and I can barely play games on it anymore - I haven't overloaded it with anything it's actually quite empty bar a few games.

I'm looking to upgrade it just to get better performance / FPS playing games on a budget, here's what I currently have:

AMD Phenom 9600n Quad-core processor 2.3 GHz
AMD Radeon HD 6670 1gb
Sapphire Pure Element 690V / Socket AM2+ / AMD 690V
Maxtor 500gb HDD

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks,

Dale
