So I have a lga 775 motherboard and thinking of buying a gtx 950 but my cpu is core 2 duo and 8gb ddr3 ram and I wanna play games like ac syndicate etc what should I do ? Do I get a core 2 quad as my budget doesn't support anything else ?

What is the absolute most you could spend? You need a new motherboard and CPU. Also... Are you sure you have 8GB of DDR3 RAM and not DDR2?

Yup it's ddr3 and my budget is about 80$.

How were you expecting to get a GTX 950 and a Core 2 Quad for $80?

What's your monitor's resolution? I'm thinking you could go ahead and order a card from Cutting Edge Gamer for around $40 to $50 a month if you can afford that and then get a used Core i5 3570 and motherboard from ebay. I'm thinking in particular this one http://www.ebay.com/itm/Intel-DH67BLB3-Desktop-Board-Micro-ATX-LGA1155-DDR3-Refurbished-Board-Only-/201439427416?hash=item2ee6b9bb58:g:v38AAOSwKIpWCq8u and this one http://www.ebay.com/itm/232092816512

I personally use cutting edge gamer to get my high end graphics cards and after getting an EVGA SC+ GTX 980 ti, MSI GTX 1080 Founders Edition, Gigabyte G1 Gaming GTX 1080, and an EVGA GTX 1080 Superclocked graphics card I can say they have really good service. You don't have to have credit either. You just need a debit card provided by a bank and you need a copy of your driver's license or ID. You can't use paypal or any other type of what they consider a prepaid card. I believe you also have to live in the United States. If you meet the criteria above and can afford the payments by all means go for it. Sure you would be paying more in the end but for people who have limited or very bad credit you can't beat this option.
