    Need a new cpu and motherboard?

    aa ok i dont know a whole bunch about PC’s buttt i have an entry level gaming pc (for games like siege, valorant, csgo and minecraft) but it broke about a month or two ago. we worked out the issue is either the cpu or motherboard, but i was looking to replace both anyway. currently im getting the pc to work with some office-pc scraps but the memory is really high i can only run minecraft on about 20-80 fps, and its virtually impossible on siege/csgo.
    i have a 1050 ti and looking for something compatible ? perhaps msi but im not sure, with a budget of just under $200 hopefully.
    many thanks

    There’s lots of ways to go. With a $200 budget it may be difficult. Use pcpartpicker.com, there you can select parts at your price range and check for compatibility.

      As advised above by Kinex $200 will not get you a new CPU and MB but also needed to be taken into consideration is that you will also need to purchase a new Windows licence key which costs almost $100 + as was determined in one of your previous threads here you do not have the technical knowhow to safely do the upgrades yourself so may need to pay a third party to do the upgrades for you.

      As an asides heidi, can I ask that you do not abandon this thread like you have done with your previous two.
