Well your limitation will be your CPU, since its an LGA1156 chip the budget will decide what you want to afford
I would get at least a P55 or P55/A chipset Motherboard
newegg.com has some for sale http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&DEPA=0&Order=BESTMATCH&Description=lga1156+motherboards&ignorear=0&N=100007627&isNodeId=1

Hi paladin, sorry i dont really understand technical terms im a newbie who somehow managed to build this pc many years ago through trial and error.
Do you mean i need to change my cpu as well? What would you suggest then? My budget would be just the bare minimum to play games such as dota 2 on max settings. My current build is able to do that but parts are getting old and having electrical problems so im looking for a small upgrade.
