I'm sorta in a problem and need your help, ok so I'm a high schooler who just have earned alot of money from my middle school graduation and I am getting ready to my first build. I already have a prebuilt desktop with a i5 2400 and 2tb and 6 gb of ram. and i would think to buy a new motherboard another 4 gb of ram, psu, case, and a gpu with the power to play overwatch,rust, and Middle earth and I'll be doing light editing and photoshop. So the problem is should i go used and should i keep my motherboard or change to a different one or just go and hunt for new pc parts deals ? Keep in my budget is $250 max and thats final including shipping and taxes and that my motherboard is an unreliable brand. Thanks in advance!!

your currently CPU will be able to get some pretty good fps on the games you mentioned, so i would keep that. I would recommend a Nividia geforce gtx 1050 ti as a graphics card. Also could you post full systems specs for your current prebuild pc (motherboard and all.) so I can figure out what you could keep.

SPECS-
CPU- I5 2400
MOBO- FOXCONN 2ADA LGA1155 FROM HP
RAM- 6GB RAM
STORAGE- 2TB HDD WD BLACK SERIES
NO GPU
PSU- OLD DESKTOP HP ONE DONT HAVE SPECS ON IT BUT IT IS UNRELIABLE.
If possible could you make a pcpartpicker list and that'll be helpful!
and gtx 1050 ti is going for a crazy price is there a way to get it cheaper.
