Hi Everyone! I'm looking for help about what parts to buy for a gaming pc. Here are my current computer's specs.

Motherboard
AAHD2-HY (Holly2)

Processor
AMD A4 3420 Processor

Memory
6 GB

Hard drive
500 GB

PSU
300 Watts

Pretty bad video card as well.

I'm looking for something that can play the new gen games such as assassin's creed unity, GTA V, Far Cry 4 and so on, with medium settings. I'm not one of those people that absolutely have to play new gen games on ultra graphics at 1080p with 60+ fps.

So if someone could just list some good computer parts that are all between 500 and 600 dollars that would be awesome. Thanks!
