Knowing the mobo isnt necessary. For less than 150, you are looking at r7 260x and a GTX 750 Ti. These cards have the same level of performance, but the R7 260x draws more power (120w) than GTX 750 ti (apprx 60w), and is a little cheaper. It is up to you which one to choose.

Hope this helps! :)

Download a program called CPU-Z it'll show you under the 'mainboard' tab.

Also for £150 You'll be able to get a 270X and for £160 you can find a R9 285 http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/b00n8thhqk/geizhals07-21/ref=nosim?m=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE

or a GTX 960 http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/b00snvouke/geizhals07-21/ref=nosim?m=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE

But you will have to make sure you have a good enough power supply for those.

He also said he wants to play h1z1 at high settings and he is kinda on a budget so r7 260x or gtx 750 ti will be his best choices

What PSU do you have Kenneth? It could make a world of difference.

The 270X is about 30% faster than a 750Ti (source: http://www.bit-tech.net/hardware/graphics/2014/02/18/nvidia-geforce-gtx-750-ti-review/7)

You can get them for £120-£130 http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00HA3444I/ref=olp_product_details?_encoding=UTF8&me=

I would suggest you make the leap, even if it means saving an additional £30 for a new PSU (on top of £20 left over from £150), You have an awesome CPU and the 750Ti and 260X are good lower end 1080p cards but they pale in comparison to a 270X

Afraid that's not the model :)

Don't be scared to open it, just make sure the power is off, if you open it look for a sticker and either copy down what it says or take a photo then we can see if we can help :)
