at this moment i have a older pc running a Intel core 2 Q8300 cpu with 4gb ram DDR2 and a nvidia 750 Ti. I want to upgrade the mother board to hold some new DDR3 ram i got. is this a suitable option.

also i was thinking of looking into a cheaper option in the long run and investing in somthing like a new mobo + cpu combo somthing around 3.0ghz , any ideas?

 

- feel free to leave your opinion 

case: corsair carbide air 540 motherboard: asus maximus V formula assassin  cpu: intel i7 3770k 3.5ghz cooling: corsair h100  psu: corsair gold ax750w  gpu: amd radeon 7950 3gb  ram: 8gb g.skill sniper  drives: 120gb Samsung 840 ssd, 2tb western digital black

You will need to a full cpu ram and mobo upgrade.

An AMD cpu has no place in a solely gaming build, end of.

I3 4150, Intel HD graphics, corsair CX750M, 4gb ram, Asus H81M-E, corsair 230T, Intel stock cooler WD Green 2TB Gigabyte 550TI

Why you shouldn't trust Gpu or Cpu boss Click on this I dare you!

SSDs help primarily with Windows startup, system responsiveness, and application load times. Aside from maybe sometimes helping with game loading, it won't do much for gaming. It's nice to have an SSD but it's probably the first thing to get rid of if you can't get a good CPU and video card into a tight budget.
