I bought this computer and. Plan on upgrading it sooner or later to play dayz, battlefield and borderlands at least higher than minimum graphics. The problem is I don't know what graphics cards and processors fit my motherboard. Can someone help me find something to start off with please? Please don't link me to pieces that are more than 200$ for a single piece. I'm only looking for a small start that can at least play the games smooth without lag and a little bit higher than minimum graphics. Please help!

Here is my computer-

Well really all you need is a new psu, graphic card, and cpu for your build. Get an a10 5800k which probably doesn't require a bios update. Sadly your motherboard isn't meant to overclock but the cpu is under $90 and for it being a more powerful quad-core it will help out a lot even at stock speeds. Another option is the newer a8 7600 quad core cpu which is around $91 but most likely requires a bios update. Either way probably pair it up with a r7 265, r7 360, or a Gtx 750ti. You could get by with a Gtx 750ti with your current psu but I would still upgrade it to a better brand psu that's 80+ efficiency rated (bronze, gold, silver, etc.) for the extra cushion and just better quality. I'll link the options I've stated here but after this...

I'll link the options I've stated here but after this if you wanted to play on like high settings you would be better off getting a new motherboard and go with either intel's i5's quad core or amd's fx 83xx eight core cpus and a beefier gpu like a Gtx 960 or R9 370 or 380 but that requires buying another windows and other things so it can get pricey. Here's the links for the cheaper solutions from before:

Psu: went with a 650w for future upgrades, can handle most cpus and single gpu setups plus its modular
