My current computer, is a Dell Inspiron 570 (4GB RAM Version) I'm essentially going to making a whole new computer, just slowly. 

 

New Build Specs :

CPU : AMD FX-4300 Processor

GPU : MSI R7 250 2GB DDR3 OC Edition (Its already shipped)

RAM : Kingston HyperX Fury Black 1x8GB DDR3 1600

Motherboard : MSI 760GMA-P34(FX) Micro ATX AM3+

Case : Antec VSK-3000 Micro ATX Case

PSU : EVGA 500w Bronze Certified

 

I had a budget of 200$ on the CPU, Motherboard, RAM, and Case. I'm trying to go with a black and blue build. This is also my first gaming oriented PC. I already have the GPU, and will have the PSU very soon. I'm not going to change any part unless needed, but I just want to know if it will work fine on most games on average settings. Thanks in advance! Link to parts, not entire build : http://pcpartpicker.com/user/AceTakerV8/saved/z9CBD

 

Edit : I plan on moving hard drive and CD drive to new build.

Your going to get my exact response.

You already have DDR3 RAM. Re use it save money.

If you are going to have a fit because you don't get a fancy MSI or Asus log on boot up, spend the extra un needed cash.

Just get the Athlon 860k. Pretty sure it is cheaper.

I feel sorry that you got a R7 250, again new parts aren't always the best. You truly remind me as my old self, I was to stubborn and didn't listen. My setup would be nothing like it is today, I'd have completely different peripherals and even an i5-6600k.

If you've got a $200 budget for CPU, Mobo, RAM, and Case do this.

It's slightly over budget but the performance will be amazing compared to the FX CPU.

I suggest you reuse everything you have, and swap out a few parts like the cpu/mobo and just get a new cpu/mobo and 4gb ddr3.

What about this? http://pcpartpicker.com/list/8Br8KZ

just change your mobo, cpu and get an extra 4gb of ram, the other parts are reusable.

I said 4GB OF DDR3 LAST TIME!!!

Edit : I meant 4x1 GB of RAM

nevermind, pony up for ddr4 8gb instead, reusing 4 sticks of 1gb ddr3 isn't worth it.

Ughhh I can't stress this either, DON'T USE DDR3 ON SKYLAKE. IT IS NOT MADE FOR IT AND IS PRONE FOR PROBLEMS.

I can bet the i/o shield will come off, my HP case was the same way. Had to bend the i/o shield to get it out. Just eliminate problems and get $13...

Yeah, @AceTaker just go with my build, the performance is way better on a good platform with a good motherboard, cpu and RAM plus a nice black case with a front blue LED fan. I actually own the case and love it.

@AceTaker I did a build in that case with that same motherboard and CPU and it looked like this.
