Im on an extremely tight budget for an upgrade, I got recomended the FX-6300 here and it seems like a capable cpu to allow me to play at the resolution of my monitor 1280x720
Considering that, I would like a recommendation on a motherboard and ram aswell, I don't know much about mobos nor ram, but I won't need overclocking.
My budget is 150$ for the components.
Also I currently have a GTX 650 TI, with the aforementioned components will I be able to play games like AC IV and BF4 maxed out?
Thanks.

no matter what you get 650 TI wont run those games maxed out i would say medium at best. ALso to get fx-6300 it alone costs $110 so budget of $150 is not going to work at all. Athlon x4 750k is the best entry level CPU best i could do is $160

I also recommend the Athlon X4 750K, but for the motherboard i say go for one with the A78 chipset, not the A55. Those have SATA III support and USB 3.0. Don't worry about RAM, anyone will do the job right.
