Budget PC build

Hi forum! :)

 

I have really old PC, it was bought in 2007 I think, specs:

 

AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 3800+

2048MB RAM

ATI Radeon 5570 (Gigabyte version)

ASUS M2N-E-SLI

Codegen 400W PSU

 

It runs some games that i really like, for example MW3, MW2, COD4, Cs 1.6, CSS and so on, games, that dont require a really good computer, but I run them on low to medium settings. But today I saw COD: Ghosts gameplay, prolly i`ll get some hate, but it blew me off :D. I really want to play Ghosts when it comes out, but i know, that my PC wont run it. As if now, I don`t have a lot of money, i am 15 years old, cant find even summer job, and i don`t want to ask my mom money, couse I want to build a PC on my own :). Like I said i don`t have a lot of cash so there is no way I could build beast rig. So forum people, do you have any advices? Maybe I should upgrade this DDR2 system? Or buy cheap DDR3 motherboard and build something on it? Any piece of advice would be great :)

But I live in Lithuania, so prices may be different :/

What's your actual budget/currency?

Where are you shopping from?

Yup, thats around 1500 LTL, usually I am shopping here:

https://www.varle.lt/

Do you think buying parts from other countries could be cheaper?

Shipping and other fees would make that more expensive.

 

Here's what I came up with:
 
CPU: FX 6300 
 
Mobo: GA-78LMT-S2P
 
Ram: Crucial 8GB CL10 1600
 
HDD: Barracuda 1TB
 
GPU: Gigabyte 7770
 
Case: PS08B
 
PSU: cx430
 
Total: 1543 Lt

This. Only this I would change is if you need to cut back go for 4gb and if you really really need to cut back change the case or the CPU. The fx 6300 is one of the best CPUs out for price/performance and amd CPUs will be getting optimised when the next gen consoles come out giving it good gaming performance by using all dem cores.

It does not make a difference that my hdd is a little bit old? its not ancient :D, but i want to know if i still can connect my hdd to my new motherboard?

It should still work granted it uses sata. A newer one would probably be faster though.

~600$

 

A Richland system could also be an option but then again a dedicated card is better.
