How small of a budget? If under $500, looking used would be ideal. 

[OnaBudget]

I am probably looking around 400 maxish

The exact Thing is Radeon (TM) RX 460 Grahpics

The RX 460 is a solid card. So you can save money by just changing the CPU/Motherboard/RAM to one of these options. Both should provide a solid bump in performance over your existing CPU and paired with the RX 460, should give nice improvements overall.

Its decent, cant you run GTA on it? Btw. I think you should get a cpu upgrade first of all. GTA is quite cpu intensive. A G4560+ an H110 motherboard.

Thank You

Only issue with the H110 board, and why I chose a B250 board, is the fact that you'll possibly need to upgrade the bios with the H110 since the G4560 is a Kaby Lake CPU.

H110 is enough on a budget, he should get one from asrock, they usually support G4560 out of the box.

Should be similar to how you found the GPU model.

From the CPU you have though I can tell it's probably a very old AM3 board which isn't compatible with Ryzen so you'll have to swap it out for a decent upgrade.

Give a moment, I know a few that do not need a bios update I will try to find it.

Usually being the key word, I'd rather suggest him something for a few dollars more that will work without the chance of it needing a BIOS upgrade.

I will agree, it's easier for inexperienced builders, as a bios update might be a hassle for them but anyway, here is the motherboard that supports G4560 (I have built a system with it): ASRock H110M DVS R3.0

My Mother board is a

Closest I could find to that model available in Australia is:

Not sure if it's the same though.

Hey, OnaBudget, can you verify  is your system OEM, because if it is it might have a proprietary mobo or psu connectors.

Good catch, didn't think about that.

The board doesn't look proprietary but the PSU might be.

Hmm. Might not support it out of the box. I think it's better to stick with a B250 as you said before, I live in Europe so some of the products are different here.

okie dokie how would i find that out

Easiest way is:

Did you build it yourself or buy it from somewhere? Like Dell, HP, etc?

Yah, it's the one thing I hate about super budget builds and suggestions. You want to go with the H110 but the BIOS is a tossup
