Hey ALL!
I been shopping around for a while now and struggling with choices and budget. My pc setup is a 700w power supply, HD 7750 1gb msi graphics, 1.5tb and 12gb ram.

My problem is my motherboard, CPU and ram is very outdated and struggling to find what will work well. I play mainly assassins creed and Call of Duty.
So i need to get a new motherboard, CPU and Ram that will work well but my budget is around R5000/$500.
Any advice, recommendations, help?

Well the 1333 ddr3 will hold you back a little, but it will still do fine you can upgrade it later if you feel things are not working for you.
i5 4670K for CPU and then like Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO for cooler.
The Asus Z87 Pro for example as the mobo or something similar from Gigabyte.
Then if there is space in your budget, a 2x4GB set of CAS9 1866( or 1600Mhz ) Ram possibly, but you will probably do fine with the stuff you have.

At that budget, depending on local prices. You should be looking at a Z87 motherboard like and an i5 4xxx with probably 8GB or ram unless old memory is DDR3 at 1333 to 1600Mhz and it would still do fine.

What is your old mobo, cpu and ram anyway?
