I don't have very much money to put into a computer but I already have a MotherBoard a Storage and a Case. I'm looking to play games like CSGO, Ark, Rust, and 7 Days to die all on mid to low settings with a decent frame rate like maybe 50+ most to all of the time while playing. Anyone got any ideas to what I might need or roughly how much money it would cost for what I need.

The Motherboard is a Biostar TForce TA790GX 128M

Brand of storage is G.SKILL PI Series 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model F2-6400CL4D-4GBPI-B (I have 2 of these)

The case is... I have no idea To be honest... It doesn't say it anywhere
 
Solution
Motherboard will not be compatible with the G3258
That is not storage. It's RAM. & you'll need 8GB RAM for gaming. You're better off buying everything.

Thank you, Helped a lot I might just do that. How many frames per second do you think it would get in Ark or 7 days to die? Also what about the CPU fan?

For Ark, you can run it medium-high 30+ fps
7 days to die you can run on high 30+ fps
The stock fan for the G3258 will do fine. With the stock fan you can overclock to 4.4 ghz. (I overclocked mine to 4.8 ghz with the stock fan)
