Choosing motherboard and components

[Marc278]

Hello,
I currently have an old Acer computer (6 years old) and i want to replace
-the motherboard with cpu; (not to pricy)
-video card for gaming; (budget $60)
-And maybe a new power supply if it's needed (budget $60)

I've got a FSP Group Inc. Power Supply with:
AC Input (220-240V-3,5A-50Hz)
DC Output (300W)

I'm not familiar with computers. Any advice would be very appreciated! (Sorry for my bad english)

with the stuff you're replacing it might be easier for you to just buy a new pc, what are you planning to use it for?

I would like to have a computer wich is fast and good enough for playing games. But my budget isnt so large. So i wanted to replace some compenents not knowing if it's necessary for the things i want to do.
I don't know if my motherboard/CPU and PSU can handle a good video card for example.

what kind of games are you intending to play?

 

[Marc54]

MMORPG games and MMOFPS games

If I was you and was intedning to spend a bit of time on these games, I would up your budget and maybe look into a new build, that system you have is very outdated.

 

[Marc54]

Oke, do you have any suggestions? Like what is better to do
Buying a new PC or buying new components?

Give a total budget you can manage to build new, you will likely do better buying components and building

 

[Marc54]

My budget is 400 dollars for a new motherboard + cpu + video card + PSU.

TOTAL - $377.44 there are $25 in mail in rebates too which would make it $352

I added a case as your old one may not have standard mounts for the new mobo. You need the RAM too as your old one wont be DDR3. The APU will hybrid crossfire with the graphics card. I assume your current DVD and HDD are SATA so you can resue them if they are not you will need to replace them too. Also this does not include windows that would add cost if you need it.

You wont set the world on fire with this but it will do for basic gaming.
