mobo/cpu upgrade

[weeblesEru]

Budget (including currency): ~250$

Country: us

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: gaming, streaming, video editing, etc

Other details 

mostly looking for better performance in CS2, adding a slot or two for SSD's, support for the faster {6gbps? not sure on this, i just know my motherboard doesn't support the speeds of some of my hard drives} hard drive/cables {SATA}.  Would also like something that still has a vga port for my second monitor, if possible.

 

upgrading from Gigabyte GA-78LMT-USB3 6.0 mobo and amd FX 6300 {don't think i've done any driver updates or config, machine came prebuilt.  thiiink i've only upgraded the cpu-fan and graphics card}

 

case: xpredator x1 from cybertron

graphics card: nvidia 1050 { will probably need to upgrade this next, so need a motherboard that supports at least up to a 1080ti or something }

ram: 16gb in two sticks, probably ddr3, although i think i have more laying around somewhere, so something with general compatibility is best

monitors: hdmi samsung tv and vga sony monitor

power supply: power man, model number ip-s450cq2-0 h g {450w}

cpu-fan: some kinda noctua, idk how to tell the model.   NVM, NH-U12A

peripherals: cd/dvd drive, need at least 6 usb ports in the mobo, audio ports, the old mouse and keyboard plugs are nice if possible, two sata hard drives, have at least 3 fans - not including cpu fan mentioned above, vga port

 

happy with 1080p resolution, although might upgrade to a monitor with 120hz at some point

 

probably buying within a few months of deciding on parts, assuming there's anything i can do with such a low budget.

thiiiink that's most of the info, let me know if i need to include anything else, and thanks!

Does the integrated graphics version of the cpu include vga?  having a bit of trouble figuring that out.   I think if it's just hdmi i can still just use a converter?  guess my graphics card has dva{?} so i can just convert from there, and save on the cpu integrated graphics upgrade

open to other options as well, and may already have ddr4 ram so that might not be needed.  { Can't figure out if i have ram laying around tonight, but i'll tryn update on that asap }
