I have a f2a55m-hd2 motherboard and I would like to find out what;

The PC will mainly be used for gaming, games like Overwatch, csgo ..

Thanks.

Your best bet is to toss that motherboard in the trash and buy something else. Its a dead platform, spending any money on it is a waste.

Get yourself a Pentium G4560, a B250 Motherboard, a GTX 1050ti GPU, and 8gb (2x4) of DDR4, that should fall into your price range. For a PSU look for the Corsair CX450M.

Thats completely not true, and terrible advice. Building off a dead socket/motherboard technology is a huge waste of money. If he wants to upgrade the performance of a G4560 based system, he can easily pop in an i7-7700 and have a big performance bump. There is nowhere to go from the Athlon.

Yes that board needs DDR4 memory, yours is DDR3, so you will need to buy it. BUT eBay is your friend, DDR3 still has value, you should sell it you can probably get some good money back out of it.
