Yeah I know what you're saying but since I wanted more and better ram I needed a new motherboard, and so I bought one with a am3+ socket so I could go with one from the 8000 series later, but now just buying a cheap decent one. But maybe I should just by like a fx 8320 now instead... Oh and btw the ssd was on sale so it is equivalent to about 74 USD.

So I'm planning on upgrading almost my entire PC. I live in Stockholm, Sweden, so prices are often much higher than, for example, in the US. The parts I'm planning on upgrading are mobo, cpu, ram and ssd. I don't often play very demanding games, but I would like to have something that can handle AAA-games on lower settings maybe. But the main reason I'm upgrading us that my harddrive is very slow, old and full, my motherboard only supports DDR2 memory, which I only have 4GB of, and my computer is feeling overall slow, both in games (I belive it's the ram) and normal use. My old PC: Intel Core 2 Quad Q9550 @ 2.83 GHz Sapphire r9 280 dual-x 3GB GDDR5 Old harddrive (don't care to look up the name) 2*2GB DDR2 1066 MHz ram Asus P5Q Rev. 1.03g Cooler Master Real Power M520 520w Antec nine hundred My planned PC: AMD FX-6300 @ 3.5 GHz Intel 535 Series 240GB SSD 2 * HyperX Fury 8GB DDR3 1866 MHz ram Gigabyte GA-970A-DS3P I'm keeping the GPU, PSU and case. According to partpicker these should be compatible, only that the MOBO seem to need a BIOS update to work with any am3+ CPU. Since I have some pretty nice deals, the whole upgrade would cost about 335 usd, 293 euro. I don't have a real budget, but I'm not going to spend much more than this upgrade would cost. I'm wondering if any these parts have been known to be bad, if the parts work nicely together and if there is something I should change. This is my first time posting, so I don't now if I should create a new thread, but I also wonder if there's any way to upgrade my windows 8 to 10 while still swaping the motherboard and storage like I'm planning to do. Thanks in advance!
