Hello i am looking to upgrade my pc,but i am not really sure if it is even worth it.
I currently have a ga-ma770-ds3 (rev 2) motherboard .
When you go to the official site it says that it supports new generation of AMD Phenom™ II X6 processors but if you click specification it doesn't mention support for AMD Phenom™ II X6 processors and that confuses me.

If it is compatable I was looking to buy a Phenom II X6 1090T with GEFORCE GTX 1050 TI but my motherboard only supports ddr 2 ram (which I have 7 gb of) and i dont know if it would impact my pc performace or it would be only minor.

So here I am asking for your suggestions for what should I do?
Also my budget is around 300 Euros

Yes. Scrap your current PC. I gave you a starting point. Go to pcpartpicker.com and start with a B360 motherboard chipset. You can see prices and play around with your budget.

So basically I should scrap the idea of upgrading my pc and just build a new one from ground up?
Maybe you could suggest what components to buy that would make a decent pc?
