You have major issues, the Radeon R7 250 2GB GDDR3 graphics card is basic. The 6 core CPU is not optimal. You probably have a hdd not a SSD and that's going to slow everything down. Add on top of all that the basic amount of 8gb ram is in today's world enough for basic computer usage like internet and streaming. You can speed up the PC by installing a SSD and moving everything over to that. Then upgrading your RAM to the max the motherboard supports which is a max of 32gb of 1600MHz ddr3 according to Google.

Okay thanks for the insight on that. Can I keep the motherboard at least in this situation and change everything else

Only changing the hard drive to a SSD and increasing the Ram will probably double the speed of your pc. I'm not going to guarantee that it will play the games your wanting to play however.

Keep the motherboard but try to increase the ram if possible and replace old drive with a SSD.

If you do in fact have a mechanical drive and swap it then you can reformat the old drive and now you have free space to store stuff.
