Ok so I'm 15 and I'm Planning to buy an old pc parts for Cheap An Overclock Them And(Still play 2019 games on Medium).
Do I have to buy an lga 1366 based cpu for budget gaming or maybe 1156,775,1155,1150?

My budget is to buy a cpu and mobo for maximum $100
((i actually found a guy selling an x58 for $80))

All the money I'm Going to spend is $200.

and 1 more question.Do I have to buy old parts for $200 dollars and have higher FPS

Or I have to buy an Amd Rig with R3 2200g for $280?

Nothing on that budget will be future proof. The 2200g route gives you upgrade to modern technology down the road if you get a job or save some money elsewhere. You'll spend a bit more than your planned amount but a 2600k/p67 or z77 motherboard, and something like a gtx 670 (used) will still play most games solidly. Anything older is already too old to do much on newer games

My main rig at home is a socket 1366 xeon with an rx580. Seems to work fine with modern games. If you have any specific questions let me know. I don't have any hopes for future upgradability, basically there is none. But for what I paid, its been really good.

One of my kids runs an 1155 system, those you can get like i7 2600 or some can run 3770's which are not bad.

At work I run a 775 system, you can get some OK 771 xeon cpus to work on a lot of these boards with a $1 adapter. This socket is pretty old though, 1155 or 1366 is a better bet. I'd only mess with this 775 stuff if you already have it.

I am planning to get an x3440 and oc it to 3.8ghz.I found an rx 570 for $100 new.All the cost will be around $210.
I will sell it in like 2 years and buy a new one.Worse it?

Tip:the market in my country is so stupid so like you can sell the things that are worse $200 for $350.
