Hi. I'm trying to upgrade my old pc but I'm not completely sure what to choose. Here're some details.

Approximate Purchase Date: this month

Budget Range: 200-300 €, After Rebates; Before Shipping

System Usage from Most to Least Important: gaming, surfing the internet, watching movies

Are you buying a monitor: No

Parts to Upgrade: CPU, motherboard, hard drive. I already have a new video card (Radeon RX460 2GB), old RAM (4GB) and power supply (450W - HEDY PP500FCA)

Do you need to buy OS: No

Preferred Website(s) for Parts, Location: City, State/Region, Country - an online store in my country has some okayish deals similar to amazon.co.uk

Parts Preferences: by brand or type I prefer Intel but AMD seems to be cheaper so I'm not sure

Overclocking: Maybe

SLI or Crossfire: Maybe

Your Monitor Resolution: 1440x900

Additional Comments: I just want to play games like GTA V, BF, CS, nothing too demanding

And Most Importantly, Why Are You Upgrading: my GPU broke and hard drive is corrupted so I decided to upgrade most of the system

I'm thinking about GA-B250M-D3H motherboard and Core i3 6100 Skylake but there could be something better for a similar price (224€)
