Hi guys, I was recently given an ASUS computer to me by a relative and I was wondering if I could turn it into a gaming pc. My specs are:
MD A6-6400K APU with Radeon(tm) HD Graphics 3.90 GHz
AMD Radeon HD 8470D
8.00 GB DDR3
Windows 7 Premium 64-bit
If any info is missing above that is needed, I would be happy to provide it here Very Happy.
Questions I have:
I would also like to know what is the best FM2 socket cpu for gaming.
I was wondering what if I replace my AMD A6-6400K with an AMD Athlon X4 760K 3.8GHz Quad-Core Processor and put in a Sapphire Radeon R9 280 3GB Dual-X Video Card. Would this work or is there something I am missing?

I believe that my PSU is a 350 Ac Bel and my case is an ASUS and I do not know what it is called, but here is a picture of it http://www.amazon.com/M32BF-US005O-Desktop-A6-6400K-Processor-Windows/dp/B00LSRW8P4

Alright I can get a new PSU and Case and I know that AMD Athlon X4 760K is a FM2 socket so should i buy it since my motherboard is FM2 or should I just wait and buy a new motherboard .
