Hi dude..

The asrock n68c-gs fx and the 750 Ti are very low spec indeed.. You need to get an i3-6100 and a GTX 950 atleast.. Will cost you a little more initially but will save you a lot of trouble sinking your hard-earned money into the low-performance AM3+ amd pc..

This is a long-term solution, but if you want a low-cost short-term solution, you can just upgrade the cpu in the arock
asrock n68c-gs fx to the opteron 3300.. keep the GPU & other components, the same -- but you will have to again think about upgrading in a yr or so..

Long-term upgrade:

RM500 is not a lot at all, I guess you have to get a Celeron or something like that, or a second-hand CPU. I have no idea what the prices there are like, so you can tell me how they are. I assume it's about 135USD, correct?

EDIT: Excuse me, it was Pentium, not Celeron. Sorry!
