Hi, I have an acer aspire ax1301-u9032, I couldn't find any info on the mobo so i was wondering if you guys could recommend a good cpu that is compatible as I am looking to upgrade. I was thinking about getting a AMD FX-63000(looked up good and economic cpus and this came up). Also, Gpu recommendations would also be helpful as i want to upgrade my card. Also, since the case is terribly small I really have no idea if it will fit in there or do If i have to buy another case? And i also have nonidea how the power supply thing works so any tips and recommendations are helpful! I am new at this so i know very little, thanks for the help!
My budget is around 300 for cpu/gpu/case?/power supply? :(
*Buying or building a new pc is not an option as I am only 16 and umployed therefore it would take another year or two to double my budget and well that's too long!*

I am looking to run cs go at about 100-120 in med settings if possible, i currently run it at 40-60 fps on lowest settings.

I had already posted a thread about this but for some reason i can't find and therefore couldn't get any help (no notifications either) so here it is again. Thanks again!

That is a 2009 motherboard model that uses DDR2 memory. AMD FX CPUs don't use DDR2 memory so there is no way an FX-6300 will work.

In addition to cpu/gpu/case/power supply, you will also need DDR3 memory and Windows OS.

I would recommend you looking at bare PC cases to decide what size case you want and motherboard size. For FX CPU the ATX size are the best and need a Mid-Tower case. You can also get micro-ATX size motherboard that are not as good but cost less. These will fit a Mini-Tower size case. You would want to get an AMD AM3+ motherboard.
