Hello
Im thinking about either upgrading my existing pc (which i could do now about 400$ ) or buying a new one in the nearest future (1500$)
The pc is intended for gaming, WoW, EvE online, diablo3,starcraft2, battle field 4 and more.
My pc can barely run bf4 on low settings right now.
My current setup is
Motherboard: MSI H55M-E33
CPU: Intel i3 CPU 530 @ 2.93 GHz
GPU: ATI Radeon HD 5670 1gb
Memory: Corsair 2 sticks 2gb each (4gb total), DDR3 667 MHz
Display: Benq 24´´ GW2450H
So the quastion is should i upgrade something or wait and buy a new one
?

I have an i3-530 with a 6870 as a home theater box that also plays some games. I'm usually pretty impressed by it's ability to keep up in most games. I'm thinking the only thing really holding you back is the 5670 since even when it came out it wasn't really a great gaming card. Personally, I would just switch up to something fairly cheap in the $150-200 range and put the rest aside toward your next machine sine there isn't a huge amount you can do with the CPU unless you find a good deal on an old used i7 to throw in there or something.
