ok so im building my own low/mid gaming pc and not spending an awful lot to achieve this so please bear that in mind if it isnt the greatest set up in the world :)

will be buying a cheap case £20 ish inc 2x fans
motherboard is ASUS M5A78L-M USB3 SKT-AM3+
processor is AMD X6 CORE FX-6300 3.5GHZ BULLDOZE INC AMD HEATSINK/FAN
psu is ACE 750W ATX 6PIN PCIE 120MM
will use my current 500gb hhd and 4gb ram in current desktop
new graphics card is intergrated ATI RADEON HD3000 but i currently use GEFORCE GT710......which one will work best with new parts

my questions are really...will these parts all work together well? which is a better graphics option?
will it be worth all the trouble to do? will this pcu and graphics make gaming better etc?

want all your opinions guys

to buy or not to buy :)

thanks to all who answer in advance!

If you're going to be building a gaming rig I'd suggest going with something that not outdated. Games favor fewer stronger cores and you won't get that with AMD. An i3-7100/H270 board. G4600 would work well too. I'd you do go with the new board you'll also need some DDR4 ram. That power supply is pretty rubbish, I wouldn't trust it.

That is not even worth building in my opinion. You could probably do better for cheap on ebay. Instead of buying the crappy FX 6300 I'd opt for a used Core i5 2400 PC upgrade the PSU, RAM to 8GB or 16GB, and finally upgrade to a GTX 1050 ti or so. If you can't save up the little bit of money it would take to do the kind of build I just mentioned then you're better off not even owning a PC. The one you're talking about building will not run any of the latest and greatest titles except for the VERY LESSER DEMANDING ones. If you just want a PC then get a PC on a stick type of thing and there you go. Those are very cheap and get the job done.

I'll be honest with you:
this build is garbage.

I advice you get something like this:
(American dollars as I have no idea where you live)

This thing will actually run games.
