Is my current CPU and I'm looking to upgrade both my CPU and video card to allow decent speed while streaming. Problem is I'm very inexperienced when it comes to compatibility between parts. Could someone please suggest a few parts that are upgrades AND compatible with my current system please. I'd say keep budget within $200-400 preferably less.

This is my dxdiag: here.

Edit: would this be compatible?
 
Solution
no it may not be oudated, but since u were using AMD its an AMD motherboard, now u need an Intel one, u have to make sure the socket on the motherboard matches that on the CPU


I'm assuming you mean my current motherboard is entirely outdated already and there are no upgrades for it? Also, say I buy a motherboard what would I need to pay attention to when choosing a CPU to be sure it's compatible?
 


Okay thanks that is something I did not know. So looking at my motherboard specs it shows upgradeable CPU's for that model are and the best option is this but I hate how there is an integrated graphics card. If I were to purchase this CPU will I be able to simply remove the integrated card and replace with something newer like the Radeon 7950?
