Hi,
I've been looking to improve upon my current PC for a long time but since I have minimal knowledge when it comes to PC's Id really appreciate the Help!
Both the CPU and the Motherboard are pretty old so I'm looking to replace them but I'm unsure what to go for given that I've already got a GPU, tower and decent power supply ( 750W ). So any help & tipps would be greatly appreciated!
Approximate Purchase Date: e.g.: within the next 2-3 weeks
Budget Range: 250-350 However Ill happily pay more if it makes sense/ is needed!
System Usage from Most to Least Important: almost exclusively used for gaming and generic surfing of the web
Are you buying a monitor: No
Parts to Upgrade: CPU and Motherboard (Current power supply: Seasonic S12G-750)
Do you need to buy OS: Currently running windows 7 Home premium 64x and would love to avoid buying a new OS.
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: none really, I have no experience when it comes to ordering/buying parts.
Location: Currently Berlin, Germany
Parts Preferences: similar to website, None really due to having limited to no experience
Overclocking: Probably not

Your Monitor Resolution: 1920x1080
