Motherboard and processor upgrade

[Shaungaz123]

Hi guys,

Was wondering if anyone could advise me on a motherboard and processor combo for around £200.

Computer needs upgrading, most of it is ok except the outdated motherboard and processor.

Current specs:

AMD Phenom 9150e Quad-Core processor 1.80 GHz
Nvidia 9800gt graphics card
Cooler Master GX 550W power supply
4GB ram

Using it for mostly office and a bit of photoshop however I still want it to be able to play Battlefield 4 when I want to so not expecting it to be amazing but enough for me to run the game without too many problems.

I was looking into this combo:

Motherboard - http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MB-502-AS

Processor - http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CP-336-AM

What do you guys think? I'm also looking to upgrade to around 8GB of ram.

Would these be ok to install with my current system?

Cheers

Hi thank you for a speedy reply!

Think I may go for this combo as the reviews seem promising and it's not going to break the bank!

I'm very new to building computers so this might be a stupid question...

Which ram would you recommend for this motherboard?

Cheers

Thanks for replying guys very helpful have a great Christmas and a happy New Year!

Edit: Just a quick one....do I really need a cooler? Only thing is if it doesn't fit inside my current case it means by another which pushes up my budget.

Just a standard one you get with most normal office desktops in currys or Pc world. Roughly 45cm tall by 55cm long and 20cm wide - these are very rough measurements as I dont have a ruler with me lol
