with only a 150$ graphics card, you will likely experience a bootleg. this is strongly dependent on what games you actually play, but you might be best off saving up for a more expensive card

if you go intel, prepare to take a huge hit in gpu, intel has really powerful processors but they are also a lot more expensive..!

and 80$ is standard for 8gb of ram unless you find something on sale... and if he is gaming he should definitely get 8gb.

an am3+ alternative costs 130... if you ever upgrade your cpu, your probably going to want a new mobo anyway, so the am3+ socket being "dead" is irrelevant..

well what would i gain from swapping the motherboard? maybe a new chipset that would support something new but other then that i wouldnt have a reason to but i am strongly considering am3+ again but i dont like the idea of buying something thats already outdated :( would you happen to know if geekbench a good source for cpu benchmarks? like are they accurate? Also is it worth it to buy a more expensive motherboard because i see some $60 matx boards that seem to be just as good as the $100 board i chose

I mean intel makes great cpu's i prefer them to AMD's but if your running a low budget build i would strongly consider AMD. Keep in mind that GPU is more important than Cpu for gaming(for the most part). And i was just saying that because AMD is going to shift their chips away from am3+ when you upgrade in the future your going to want a new mobo..
