Hello Excalibur86,

My suggestion of parts that are approximately 200 dollars in cost total are the following

Motherboard:

http://www.amazon.com/MSI-Intel-Motherboard-B85-G41-PC/dp/B00D12OASW/ref=sr_1_33?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1464500892&sr=1-33&keywords=lga+1150+motherboard

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

CPU:

http://www.amazon.com/Intel-Pentium-Processor-G3220-BX80646G3220/dp/B00EF1G9DW/ref=sr_1_10?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1464500933&sr=1-10&keywords=lga+1150+processor
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Power supply( I picked two, one is modular and costs a bit more if cable clutter is a concern for you)

You could reuse the ram you have and the rest.This would even do some basic gamng if you got interested.For that would the ram be a bottleneck,but it would be able to.The gpu you have now could be left out then and you would have a better one in return.
