No, that's an AMD board, you need an LGA 1151 socket board for that CPU and DDR4

Nope.

I would advise you to get a G4560 & H110 Motherboard if you want a cheap upgrade

if you want to spend some more, maybe buy a used haswell i5 with a H81 board, or a skylake i5 with a H110 Board

Nope, one has the socket FM2+ and one has the socket LGA1151 soooo :P 

Looking at my signature are we now? Well too bad there's nothing here...

That's a FM2+ board you need a lga1151 board, and I recommend the 7100 instead of the 6100.

Might wanna buy a Kaby Lake board, as not that many SkyLake come with BIOS'es for Kaby Lake, and that board doesn't have the CPUless BIOS flash that I'm aware of, and he'd need a Skylake ergo. 

Yours faithfully

That won't happen, maybe just for the GPU, depends on what resolution, but you'll need a new Motherboard and CPU at least on top of that.

Best i think anyone can do without waiting for ryzen.

 

The GPU can be brought down to an RX470 but i definitely dont recommend doing that as the rx480 isn't that powerful as is

Pretty solid built that is realistically closer to the $300, but we don't know what else from his PC is usable, it might have an OK PSU and case, or a PSU I wouldn't use to power an LED, but that's a solid 1080p build. 

Yours faithfully

Wut? I mean it will play more or less all games at 1080p 60fps ultra and even some triple As at 1440p 60fps ultra (ignoring games like arma and ark....)

well,
$5/week =52x5=$260 a year (reference)
is you already have the $300, then the build that Jrock listed would only take 
434.93-300=134.93,

134.95/5= 25 weeks of saving, or about 6 months, by which time Ryzen will be around with probably at least a quad core for the same price,

Yours faithfully

i dont have the 300 yet thats the sad part so i guess i have to go to work 

 

When you have the money, then ask for a build.

it's no use asking for a build now, and then in a year when you get $300 dollars buy something from the partslist we make you now, because the parts will be old already.

 

only ask for a parts list if you plan to buy the PC soon.

Yeah can probably get it all for about 375 with tax without case and psu. PC build in a shoe box anyone?
