Upgrading old rig

[minemarcius]

I'm want to upgrade my 2011 rig with something that would run new games with medium quality I'm on a budget of about 270€
currently I have
CPU: Intel I3 2100 3.1GHz (Motherboard socket: 1155)
GPU: AMD radeon HD 6770 MSI MD 1Gb


So far I have came up with
CPU: Intel i5-3340 3.1GHz
GPU: AMD R7 260X

will these new parts work together?

They would work, but id recomend goin with a gtx 960 and i3 4150, and still be on a budget Of 220

i3 4150 wouldn't fit in my motherboard's socket

That is correct. The 4150 is an 1150 socket and the 2100 is an 1155 socket.

Upgrade the GPU first and then the CPU. The CPU can support pretty much an GPU on the market. It will be the short coming in games that require a quad core (BF4 Multiplayer). But your budget needs to be a little bigger to truly have a benefit. What power supply do you have?

If i were you, il will spend all your budget with this card

instead of buying a low end gpu just to upgrade the processor. I3 still capable cpu in gaming. Look at this link

Once you have enough budget then upgrade the cpu, but for now stick with i3 and upgrade to a good gpu like 280x or gtx 960

Sorry, I didnt see that, but id actually recommend not changin the processor, sincce ur using lga1155, lga1155 is for 2nd and 3rd gen processors like i3 2100 or i5 3770k, If u really want the full pot3netial u could go with i7 3770k with/without gtx 960/970, but its pricy, around 350 , but if still on budget gtx 970 without changin the proceessor is my reccomendation, also wat power supply do u hav, if its below 500w, u would want 2 get a 500w psu, or higher

I have a 500W PSU I don't really know the model though

you have to open up your case and tell us what brand and model of your psu.

I have QORI 500X

Bro that psu needs some upgrade. Your budget should go to gpu and psu instead.

What's wrong with my PSU?

 

[gwapito]

For you to run a good card you need a good and reliable psu. Your psu is an old model and not suitable for gaming.

As gwapito said, your current PSU is a very low quality one. Wattage takes a back seat to quality. Do not upgrade any other component without upgrading your power supply first.
