So I have a HP Pavillion H8-1234, it's terrible I know but Im looking to upgrade this piece of junk. https://support.hp.com/si-en/document/c03359045
Those are my pc specs, anyway I'm not trying to spend too much so I was going keep the everything but the cpu, graphics card and psu. Does anyone have any idea what wattage psu I would need and also a recommendation for a graphics card would help a ton. I was also thinking about getting an amd fx 8350 because I think that's the best cpu for my socket type, thanks in advance

Most AM3+ motherboards are end of life now that AM4 is out. Not a lot of selection and prices are higher than in the past.

I would spend $30 on a bare Mid-Tower PC case. A good quality 500 watt power supply is commonly used.
