Get a new power supply and graphics card for the PC you have right now. The PC you want actually has a worse CPU, and the only benefit to that is a slightly better GPU. Your current PC is great besides the GPU.
You can spend around $220 on a decent 550w XFX PSU and an AMD R9 380, and get MUCH more performance than if you got a new computer.

Wait for the 480, $200 and the performance is sweet (at least that's what AMD have said. slightly less powerful than a 1070). It's also VR Ready. It's due to arrive in July!

So the computer I have right now is having a bit of a graphics card problem. It's still usable, but I think it's time for an upgrade.
This is the computer I want (which is $499.99, affordable for me)
This is the computer I currently have
Any thoughts or advice would be greatly appreciated.
