GPU:ATI Radeon HD 4600 series,
CPU: AMD Athlon 2 X2 245 Processor 2.90GHz,
Motherboard:M4N68T-M,
RAM: 2,00 GB

and i was looking at the pcpartpicker im not sure if it shows the correct information as i typed this motherboard and checked the Compatible Parts. would it be good to upgrade without any problems ? http://
should i be okey to play dayz standalone at least ? low medium ?
as now i dont want to spend much more money as im going on holidays. and i just need this pc if i could run any game ?

Of course you will. They are old games. DayZ would play probably at low or medium.

you can later upgrade mobo + cpu + psu
the mobo + cpu combined cost similar to phenom itself

no point of buying phenom atm
especially at £109.99

better buy new platform, new mobo + cpu

use your current athlon 2 and gtx 750 ti
