HELLO! my setup is:
Motherboard: Asus M5A78L-M/USB3 AMD 760G (Socket AM3+) DDR3 Motherboard
RAM name : ADATA gaming 4gb x 2
Power supply: OCZ ZS series 650W
Cooler: Prolimatech Lynx CPU Cooler
Case: Xigmatek Asgard II Windowed Midi Tower Case
GPU: GTX 950
CPU: AMD FX-4170 Quad-Core Processor
RAM: 8GB

Alright guys, lately i have been posting about what to do and which part to upgrade but i am just so lost right now. Here is an idea and i would really love it, if you guys helped me out.

Right now i need to upgrade my CPU and Motherboard but i don't know which specific ones. Could you help me find some parts maybe? I have $200 to spend I don't want to go buy a new pc and it'll cost me minimum $800 for sure. For now i need to change my CPU and motherboard. I want something which will handle gaming on high/ultra settings, well mostly Overwatch.

Thank you lads and gals :)

Yes thats why i am asking. If i upgrade my Motherboard and CPU for now it will make a big difference. My system is from 5/6 years ago. I just need to know which specific ones to get. Theres no point to buy a whole new machine imo..

 


Any motherboard and CPU that would improve your system would also require different ram, and therefore cost more than $200.00 Anything you can get for $200 would not be enough of an improvement to justify the cost..

How about these?
Motherboard GIGABYTE B250-D2V
Processor Intel Pentium G4560
System Memory Patriot Signature Line 4 gigabytes 2133Mhz DDR4 CL15 x2

Would this be a BIG upgrade?
 


Yrs that would be a big upgrade. I doubt that you can get that Processor, motherboard and ram for $200.00. If you can, I would be worried about the source and warranty.
