Hi,

So I am new to gaming on computers and know nothing about what I should upgrade. To be honest I am only looking to run games smoothly at 60 fps. I just need help knowing what parts to upgrade and which ones to keep to run games like Gmod, Minecraft, Counter Strike Global Offence, H1Z1, Arma 3, and ect.

If possible can you recommend so good parts even if it means getting rid of something. I just am looking for the best performance at an reasonable price. If you can maybe list like a medium and high price for the part to replace I would really appreciate it. Maybe even try getting some black fridays sales please.

Few words.

Picked a solid medium-end CPU for gaming.
Added a great performing SSD for OS to reduce boot up and game loading times.
For gaming, went with the best performance to price ratio GPU there is.
And lastly, a great quality PSU with 80+ Gold efficiency and semi-modular design to ease it's installation.

With these parts, you can turn your PC to a solid medium-end gaming rig that will run today's games in 1080p just fine. For example, in CS:GO, you're looking solid 200+ FPS on Ultra settings @ 1080p.

Btw, shouting in the topic's title isn't making anyone to reply to you faster. In the contrary, it steers users away from your topic.

Would all of the following objects be able to fit in this case?
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811139038
Corsair Carbide Series SPEC-03 Black Steel ATX Mid Tower Gaming Case

Also is there no need to upgrade the motherboard?

Also I found this website that post some good deals. I was wondering if you could take a look at it and tell me if any of these parts would work out, and if I should buy them or not. http://www.dealsource.tech/pc-parts

All those parts do fit just fine in the Corsair Spec-03 case.

There's no need to upgrade your MoBo.
New MoBo basically = new PC.
With new MoBo, e.g LGA1151 socket; you'll need to buy DDR4 RAM and new Windows on top of what i suggested. And you need to replace my suggested i5-4690 with the LGA1151 socket CPU, e.g i5-6500. Do note that you won't gain anything performance vise since both CPUs perform the same.

The website you linked just collected few popular items from the internet, mostly from newegg but also from amazon and ebay while showing them on the site to attract visitors.
That website doesn't offer anything that would be useful in your PC upgrade.

MERGED QUESTION
Question from chazzywazzy01 : "Building a Gaming Computer (Need help quick)"



This is a system you can overclock and make it more powerful than a 6100. You will need an overclocking quad core to really be better like the 4690k or 6600k with a z board. Here is a review with it being overclocked.

This would work but you need to overclock it or some games will run batter on your old cpu.

Even though there are gains from OC (overclocking) i don't recommend OC to someone who is so clueless about PC components (no hard feelings chazzywazzy01).

There are big risks in OC, you can fry your CPU or MoBo and even corrupt your SSD/ HDD.
Here's some further reading about OC risks: http://www.pcguide.com/opt/oc/risksRisksCPU-c.html

That being said, you'll be much safer without OC. Just get all your components, put them together, install your Windows, drivers and games and start playing.

But if you go with OC then keep in mind that you have to read tutorials on how to OC your CPU.
Here's one good OC tutorial for Pentium G3258: http://www.overclockersclub.com/guides/intel_pentium_g3258_oc_guide/
Vital part of OC is stress testing your PC to make sure your OC is stable. That takes time and patience. If OC isn't stable, you have to go back to BIOS and underclock your CPU a little and run the stress tests again. You have to do that until your OC is stable in the stress tests.

Edit:
Here's a comparison of what you currently have (base) and what you can have if you go with the components i suggested (alternative).

Baseline Bench: Game 27%, Desk 49%, Work 24%
CPU: Intel Pentium G3258
