My old pc has a core i5 650 cpu. My previous motherboard for some reason does not support more than 4 GB of ram, I get a blue screen if I use more than 4 GB. 
Can you guys please suggest me a compatible motherboard for my cpu ( core i5-650 ) ?
Please also suggest me a compatible GPU. Thank you.

make sure you only use 4GB double-sided sticks or 2GB ones. 4GB single side or 8GB double sided sticks may not work.

What games? I hope it's something really light, the lack of AVX support makes LGA1156 CPUs really bad for gaming.

to be fair the CPU is equally shit by today's standard, it doesnt support commonly used instruction sets like AVX (so it could slow down a lot in some games) and only has 2 cores.

 

H55 boards in general arent cheap since they are quite rare, P55 is even worse as it is a higher end chipset for this platform (I think there are only these two for this socket), so you're mostly out of luck.
