In 2014 thereabouts I purchased this as a secondary system at the family home for doing writing and general computer system usage while visiting, but now I'm thinking of also using it as a temporary gaming system.

Monitor: Iiyama ProLite E2407HDS 24 inch 1080i/1080p - 1 Sticky Pixel
Motherboard: ASUS M4A88TD-M EVO/USB3
CPU: AMD PHENOM2 X6 1055T AM3 125w 2.8GHz - Running at 3.61Ghz
CPU Fan/Heatsink: Noctua NH-C12P SE14 Top-Down C
Memory: 4GB 2x2G CMX4GX3M2A1600C8 XMP
GPU: MSI GeForce GTX 460 HAWK "Talon Attack" 1024MB GDDR5
HDD: Samsung 840 EVO 120GB 2.5 inch Basic SATA Solid State Drive

Rather than buy a brand new system, if I upgrade the GPU and memory would it still be viable to play games like battlegrounds at about 60fps? Would a 980 be enough etc

Cheers

( I don't know a lot about the Phenom CPU's ) ( It was just a back up system at the time )

be a bad experience on pubg.20-30fps best.with current gear.a 980 probably do 50/60 low settings at 1080 but drop to 30/40s at best. 2500ks do that with 970s.

stick your 980 in it and try it
 
Thanks :) So worse than a i5 2500k at stock :o

it has been known AMD processors to be weaker than intel as far as gaming goes, given the spec of the system you probably be able sell it for a good enough price in place for an intel build
