Upgrade or new build?

[Souness]

Built this in 2009...

i7 920 overclocked to 3.5 Ghz
Gigabyte GA-EX58-UD3R Intel X58 (Socket 1366) PCI-Express DDR3 Motherboard
Corsair XMS3 6GB (3x2GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C8 (1600MHz) Tri-Channel (TR3X6G1600C8)
Corsair HX 750W ATX Modular SLI Compliant Power Supply (CMPSU-750HXUK)
Samsung SpinPoint F3 1TB SATA-II 32MB Cache - OEM (HD103SJ)

Later I added in a 240GB SSD and a radeon 7850.

Getting pretty slow on new games so need to upgrade. I want a top gfx and to max out the ram, however I'm not sure if I should save the CPU+mobo or if you would recommend a whole new system. Budget isn't that limiting atm but ofc I don't want to burn money.

If it's worth simply upgrading then what ram should I be maxing it with?

Thanks for any input

Upgrade your graphics card and yes, consider a RAM upgrade. 6GB will be eaten up by top end games these days. Going to 12GB RAM and something like a 980/980ti or even a 1070 will be a huge improvement.

the CPU is 7 generations old now, i would consider upgrading the foundation personally, but you would see a big improvement with a GPU upgrade.

Depends on what you are looking for really

Im sure people will tell you until icelake has been and gone that your CPU is still good.. but thats the conservationists of us.
