This is kind of a weird thing and I hope you can help. I am more skilled at software kind of stuff rather than hardware, I have no experience in building computers and very little knowledge of inner workings. The issue is, I have an old gateway desktop computer that needs to be upgraded. Here is the cnet specs for it:

But the primary roadblock is this: I already bought other replacements parts that I KNOW the current motherboard will NOT support.
Here are ebay links to the 3 things I bought, video card, 8 GB RAM, and a processor (don't laugh when you see it).
Graphics card: http://www.ebay.com/itm/XFX-Core-Edition-Radeon-R5-230-2GB-DDR3-PCI-Express-Graphics-Card-/201302424215?hash=item2ede8f3a97:g:kCIAAOSwEeFU-sCR
Processor: http://www.ebay.com/itm/2-Intel-Xeon-E5472-3GHz-Quad-Core-12MB-1600MHz-LGA771-CPU-Processors-/141782142098?hash=item2102dfcc92:g:1foAAOSwEetWAZXR
RAM: http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-SAMSUNG-8GB-2x4GB-PC2-6400-DDR2-800-240pin-DIMM-Desktop-Memory-For-AMD-CPU-/361185336397?hash=item541852dc4d:g:B7YAAOSw3ydVrhsr
I really don't need a top of the line computer or anything, I just want to be able to play a few games like skyrim and stuff at decent quality. The only answer I want here is a *minimum* priced motherboard that can support these things. I'm am fully aware that these 3 things I bought are probably quite odd and ridiculous.
