My question to you is if this motherboard is good for gaming. I have a nVidia GeForce GT 630 video card from Point Of View (i know, it's crap - if you have any suggestions for a good graphics card as well for a budget not over 100$, please comment). I have the motherboard for like 3 years or so, so im wondering, because my PC performance has gone severely lower, is the problem with the motherboard or with the graphichs card? I have 8GB DDR3 RAM and an Intel core i5-2310 cpu 2.90ghz processor. I will supply you with more information if needed. Please help! :)

Yesh that motherboard would suffice for gaming if you are planning to do it. One of the reason you PC performance has gone severely slow might be the reason that the processor is bottle necking the graphic card. One of the card would be worth looking for given your budget is:
(http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814121800).

UPDATE: Scratch that here is another card (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814202097) it is in your budget and performs better than the older one and almost on par with the nvidia gtx 650 which is about 120$ or so.

UPDATE 2: What is the make and model of your power supply?

Well, it's a Codegen 550W 24x 12V power supply, I think.

Okay there is a problem. If your power supply is this one (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817161008) Then the card i suggested will not work as it requires additional cable from the power supply to work. And even the card i suggested will bottle neck a little with the processor. And a good power supply is atleast 50$. You sure you can't up your budget a bit?

Of course I can up my budget a bit, that was just an estimated value for a graphics card only. Thank you for clearing this out to me, because I had no idea my CPU was bottlenecking my graphics card. I hope in the near future I can replace this piece of trash for the same (or maybe similar, probably an 2 gig) card. As for the power supply, it looks good. Once again thank you for helping me. :)
By the way, that's not my power supply (well, maybe it looks similar, but not the same). This is the one: http://www.allstarshop.com/shop/product.asp?pid=9368

That supply would suffice too but sadly it doesn't have PCI connections for graphic card too. And as for the card if it is GDDR5 which is faster than DDR3 and for that 1 GB is enough. But if you do want the 2 GB version here it is: (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814131662). And there was only one review for this card i can't really judge whether or not that manufacturer is trust able or not i mainly go with Asus, Gigabyte, MSI and EVGA.

P.S: It looks badass :D

What if I got an ASUS R7 260X-OC-2GD5 graphics card? I don't usually order online, because it's not my way, plus I don't live in the USA or other native English speaking countries, so I don't have much of a choice. I live in Macedonia, by the way. Here's a link to a IT shop that sells this graphics card here: http://setec.mk/Computers-IT/PC-and-PC-equipment/Graphic-Cards?product_id=16809
I just want your opinion if this will be compatible with everything (including that new power supply). Don't worry, the description is in English if you get lost. :)

One more question, does this card require a PCI-Express 6-pin or a 8-pin connector? Because I just opened my chassis and I found a 6-pin connector coming from the power supply (it's marked with PCI-E on it), so I don't think it's for the motherboard. That said, if this card requires a 6-pin connector i will save some money.

Update: Never mind, no need to answer this question. I looked it up a bit more and I went to the official site on ASUS and I read that it requires a 6-pin connector, so I don't really need a new power supply (i was kinda lazy to browse lol). Thanks for all your help, goku1234567890. I really appreciate it. :D
