TL;DR- I need help upgrading my PC b/c I'm a n00b. I'm all about getting high framerate. Graphics I care ZERO for. $300-$400 if doable.


I really don't know how to match parts together real well. I'm not super-duper-pooper big on computers. I just want the best performance. I'm all about getting good frame rates. Performance > Graphics.

Don't laugh at my PC lol. It was my first time ever building one and I was on a strict budget because I didn't know whether or not I'd stick with PC gaming, so I didn't want to blow $1000 or anything. The part list says there are incompatibilities but its wrong lol. All these parts are working together. I've had this build for about a year now and am noticing it downgrading as the new games are coming.

If a $300-$400 upgrade budget is enough breathing room, I'd like to be in that range. I'm guessing I definitely need a new mobo and gpu.


NOTE THIS FOR VIEWING THE MY PARTS LIST:

1. I actually have two 8-gb RAM sticks, so I'm not bottlenecking it all into one

2. The GPU is slightly different, the ASUS one listed always sold out before I could buy it so I had to buy a Sapphire AMD Radeon HD 7800 series.

Those components will all work fine together if that is what you are asking. The FX-4300 and HD 7850 are pretty evenly matched. No problem with bottleneck there. But not a major framerate machine either if you play at 1080p.
