marcusbarosanu · Feb 9, 2018

My current specs:
CPU: intel core 2 quad q8400 2.66GHz
Motherborad: gigabyte ga-g41mt-s2pt
RAM: 2x4gb clocked at 600 MHz DDR3
GPU: integrated gpu motherboard
PSU: 350W

And i want to upgrade to:

PSU: Corsair CX450 80PLUS Bronze 450W
CPU: AMD A8-9600 (3.1 GHz)
Motherboad: MSI A320M PRO-VD PLUS

RAM and GPU i'm planning to buy in the the future but with specs will i be able to play some ESPORTS Titles like CSGO? Feel free to include other parts if you know of.

You can't do it that way, as your current RAM will not work with new CPU and motherboard.

You need DDR4 RAM that is on the QVL list of the motherboard. List is here: https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/support/A320M-PRO-VD-PLUS#support-mem-11

You buy a APU for the excellent integrated graphics.
But, there are no real good upgrades, particularly for a gamer.
If you install a superior discrete graphics card, you will have thrown away the big advantage of the APU.
Then, you are left with a relatively weak cpu. Most games depend on only a few fast cores.

Bottom line.....
What you get with a APU is what you will live with forever.

Can you live with that?

$250 buys you a superior G4600, lga1151 motherboard and 8gb of DDR4 ram.
The LGA 1151 motherboard has many stronger cpu upgrades available.
Your current 350w psu will support a discrete graphics card as good as a GTX1050ti.
