any recommended intel CPU? my budgets around 500

I think graphics card upgrades would help you more than processor, with the space engineers update
maybe. although with $500 I think you could reasonably upgrade both

your going with skylake right?

also, regarding gpus im going with a 980, but thats 490$, maybe a 970/960 would be good in your price range

Gtx 960 and intel i5-4460 or 4590 for a little bit extra oomph.
You probably also need another motherboard that supports intel chipsets since your current one only supports amd chipsets
Uf you want a cheap motherboard get Gigabyte GA-H81M-H but im not sure its compitable since your ram is at 800Mhz and this board only supports 1333 and 1600Mhz.

That would be $190 + $190 + $50.  Comes at 430 dollars

EDIT: Nope ram doesnt work, and jesus is that ddr2? Get this

That's a single 8GB stick of DDR3 RAM running at 1600MHz. Do you not know how memory speed works?

No. I just picked the cheapest piece of DDR3 that was compitable with the motherboard.
So... Does it actually matter if its a single piece running at 1600Mhz?

I'm referring to Metro's current RAM

Wait, was that 1600Mhz?
Why does it show 800 at the specs?

"Dude has 803Mhz. Lets research that stuff man" who does that?
That doesnt make any sense at all? No wonder I was wrong.

Alright than.

$26 monitor. 23" 1920x1080 60Hz 5Ms
Cheapest loving thing.
Yah or Nah?

Honestly I dont care if its poop 60Hz refresh rate since I dont or barely see a difference anyway.

[Bisjac]

26 bucks i dunno.
I wouldnt spend less then 100 pn a monitor.
Cheap ones can look so stuffty, colors, light bleed, brightness and such

Considering you want to get 3 and don't have the money?

EDIT: Is it worth saving a few pennies getting a GTX 950 instead of a 960? The fps difference is only a little and it uses allot les power tho.
