I have an ASUS P5GC-MX with an E4600 dual core @ 2.4GHz. I know it's really old, but what low budget graphics card would fit in this motherboard? Does a Sapphire 7750 1GB GDDR5 gpu could fit in this motherboard? Or should i go for a new motherboard? My budget is $150 if you're curious
 
A 7750 is a good choice because that was a videocard designed for gaming. I mention this because sometimes people on a tight budget buy cards that weren't meant for gaming even when they were new. That 560 requires two 6 pin connectors, if your 450w PSU has those then it might be worth a try. 500w is the suggested minimum but if yours is a QUALITY power supply I think you'd be alright.

Keep in mind some games, newer ones, pretty much require 2gb vram to function right, I'm not sure if that is something relevant to you.

Oh, and also i need a RAM upgrade, and also my PSU unfortunately looks like it doesn't have any 6 pin connectors... So, that means i have to buy a new PSU? If i have to buy a new PSU, can someone recommend me one? And also the RAM.. I'm sorry if i ask A LOT of questions..

or do i have to buy a new motherboard? For sure, i need to buy a new motherboard because i want to play GTA V with medium settings and CSGO with at least medium-high settings. And what motherboard, RAM, GPU, (or even CPU if it's recommended) should i buy? Again, i'm sorry for asking A LOT of questions..

You should really update the MB if you can... your MB only supports up to DDR2 RAM atm, you can't use DDR3 nor the latest DDR4 ram which is a big difference..

A nice 500w affordable PSU I recommend:

$44 EVGA 500 B1 (http://amzn.to/2fyy9b6)

If you want something a little better:

$79 EVGA SuperNOVA 650 G2 http://amzn.to/2erlDrm)
