My current computer specs are:

Processor AMD Athlon(tm) X4 750K Quad Core Processor
Video Card NVIDIA GeForce 210
Memory 4.0 GB
Operating System Microsoft Windows 7 Ultimate Edition Service Pack 1 (build 7601), 64-bit
230 Watt power supply
PS: I have an atx mid tower case so please specify if the hardware would fit


So to start out my computer was made just for the kind of low end games e.g SMITE, Minecraft, WoW and a little csgo here and there. But now i'm starting to want to play some of the higher end games and i was wondering what i could upgrade for maximum performance

My budget would be around £200 ($300) but could increase if needed

I will specify i'm not looking to run say GTA V on max settings but to be able to play it would be nice, And to be run games such as CS:GO on better settings

If you could also state what kind of games/fps rates i would be running with your chosen hardware that would be grate :)

All feedback is welcome :)

You will be able to play it with a gpu and psu upgrade.
No point in buying anything better then a 270x as that weak cpu will bottleneck the crap out of anything better.
You will need a better power supply as well, I would advise you to get xfx or seasonic. Never go cheap on the part that can destroy everything else.

Past that you will need a better cpu (and motherboard to support the cpu). The fm2 socket CPUS are just flat out low end, the best of the best fm2 socket they make, the 860k, is still less then a core i3 or fx-6300 which is barley medium end.
 


i didnt know it was a typo--for all i knew you read the 230v sticker and thought that was right

but obviously upgrading the gpu firstly which might require a new psu and adding some more ram wouldnt hurt too much either
