Hello tech support!

I own a Dell XPS L502x Laptop, Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-2720QM CPU with 8GB RAM. I believe my graphics card is NVIDIA GeForce GT 540M?

I use to play a lot more PC games, but have been more focused on my consoles in recent years. Now I'm interested in getting back into my PC, but I'm wondering about upgrading the hardware for better performance.

Based on my specs, would it be better to upgrade my hardware or invest in a new high quality PC?

Also, I did the userbenchmark thingy :

[UserBenchmarks: Game 12%, Desk 38%, Work 26%](https://www.userbenchmark.com/UserRun/26660649)
