Sweet thanks!
Quickie, Is there a certain critera that I should check off to see if my GPU works with my motherboard and is it okay to have a decent CPU but STRONG gpu?

Sometimes there could be bottlenecks, but it depends on what you get. I had a FX 8320 before and I used 2x 295x2 on it, which was a lot. So I'd suggest getting all of them on the same level if you can, but it isn't a huge big big of a deal if you can't, unless you're going to do some super hardcore stuff and be very picky and sensitive about it

biggest concern is that your power supply can run whatever card you pick. amps on the 12 v rail will let you know what you can run. and gpu can be mixed with intel or amd cpu's
a "decent" cpu won't hold back any gpu you throw at it. course that depends on what you consider decent. any i5,7 or amd fx series would be good enough to say it's not bottlenecking the gpu.

I'm so new to PC gaming and I'm stuck at a tight budget also, I have upgrade my PSU(300Watts for sure)
I'm consider the GTX series or is that too much?
