So, this part of the forum is dried up.

Basically I wanted your guys suggestion whether I should do what the title says, save for upgrade or new build.

My specs as far as I can remember:

AMD Radeon HD 7570 (The one thing thats legitimately shit in my PC)
Intel Core i7-2600 3.40GHz
8 GB RAM
Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit
300w Power Supply

The thing is this PC has been running for 6 years now, and idk if my upgrade would be worth when my PC could be screwed in the next few years/months.

The i7 2600 is still preety capable even today, it's still good for 1080p gamming. The gpu on the other hand is preety outdated, you could sure use an upgrade in that department. like what games are you playing?

Ranging from Underground 2 to GTA IV in terms of graphical power.

I considered saving up for the 1050ti 4GB since its only 150€, but I dont know if I need a new Power Supply maybe, and also Id buy Windows 10.

If it's 300W, you'll definetely need new one

damn 300w? you sure need a new one if you want to upgrade.

I got myself a 500W few years back, so I don't need to upgrade this time, if I want to upgrade my GPU/CPU.

Ok, so new PSU, new GPU and Win10.

The 1050ti isnt bad for 150, I hope.
