    You're welcome I just recently had to help a friend who had a similar rig decide his upgrade path (he got the rig from his brother going to college and decided to upgrade it)

    1. Motherboards are a pain to replace I usually only suggest incase of mobo failure or complete system rebuild...
    2. Any GPU standards are pretty backward/forward compatible so yeah anything from a GT210 to a R9295X2 should work best I'd recommend in particular would be R9 280 or R9 270(Both Non X) (simply cause Nvidia doesn't have much price/performance wise)
    3. Amd mobos only work for amd cpus sir sooo 8150 I believe is the best you can get off of that motherboard which will about double your current cpu power
    4. I suggest an SSD as another upgrade
    Ps. It's against forum policy to promote your channel that way... just saying im not a mod nor a snitch just figured you'd wanna know if you wish for people to know how to contact you through youtube just add it on your profile under the "contact me section"
    Pss. the upgrades I suggest should double cpu performance and close to triple gpu performance you may need a monitor upgrade to reap full reward (I suggest a 1200p <or 1080p if your a stickler for 16:9> monitor after completing the other upgrades)
    Psss. hit the check box labeled follow topic when making a topic to follow it automatically to get responses on the forums it's considerably rude not too and if you want make a Signature through options for things you may wind up having to say commonly like alot of people list their pc specs there

    You have an AMD board so unless you change to a new board you cant use an intel CPU. That being said the best chip you can get for that board is an FX-8350. Your motherboard has no bearing on what GPU's you can use but a good mid range GPU is the R9 270 as you can get one for about $160. An 8350 can be had for about $170 ish but a better choice would be the 8320 as it's much cheaper but almost as fast as the 8350. You could save a bit more on the CPU and get an FX-6300 and get a better GPU like a R9 280 or an R9 280X which would make a bigger difference in games than having a better CPU.
