I want to budget upgrade my Pc for gaming in the specified budget. I want to upgrade Processor, Gpu and PSU for gaming I want old quad core i5 processor or should i use amd apu?
(I have seen utuber use i5 3450 i want something like that or more powerful will do) (70 us dollars budget)

I want old Gpu like Gtx 660 or 750ti or should i choose similar amd graphics card as amd ae popular in graphics cards( 70 us dollars budget)

Is there difference between branded Psu like crossair evga etc and other cheaper ones like i ball. Are they reliable? (40-50 dollars budget)

Does motherboard matter in gaming like transfer speed or something ?
Is my motherboard proper for gaming ?

My budget is 160 - 190 us dollars
I want 300 fps in Csgo and 120 + fps in other games like Rocket League. I also play Tom clancy Seige

What can i do with my previous components like processor i3 540 ?
If i start from scratch where can i get money for my current components

My current specs are
Windows 10
Monitor - Dell E2014H 60hz 1600×900
Processor - i3 540 @ 3.07 ghz
Motherboard - P7H55-M LX

The best cpu he can put in that board is an i7 880. the 970/980 are for socket 1366 and will not fit in that board.

You can pick up a used 870 on ebay for about 60-70$ the 880's go for about 150

any intell cpu that starts with a 2,3,4,6,7,8 thousand number would require a new motherboard. anything in the 6,7,8 thousands would require new ram since those cpu/motherboards need DDR4 ram.

Your best and cheapest option for your motherboard would be an i7 870 on ebay for 60-70$. If you pick any other cpu that is not a socket 1156 you have to buy a new motherboard.
