RATE MY NEW SETUP.... AGAIN!!!

I finally have a computer with a case that fits all the components inside!!! (Big thanks to my friend that gave the PC to me!)

The Specs:

HP 500-217C case and Motherboard

AMD A8-6500 APU (Sucks ass) (Quad core but only 2 physical modules??)

ASUS ROG STRIX RX 570 4GB card. I love it, but the CPU holds it back.

24 GB DDR3. (2x Corsair Vengeance 8GB and 2x Samsung 4GB sticks)

Apevia Raptor 500W PSU (Like... $25 psu so.... it may explode one day...)

1TB Seagate Barracuda Desktop HDD

Samsung EVO 860 250GB SSD

(I was planning one using a lot more HDDs but the PSU only has 3 SATA power so... I have a new PSU on the way! lmao)

DVD Drive

I ran Cinebench R15 and the results didn't surprise me.... 54.69 FPS and the CPU had a score of 269 CB


If anyone has any suggestions on a Motherboard/CPU I should get, please let me know. I'd rather stick with DDR3 because I have a lot now. I don't have much to spend so I'd prefer under $100 if possible. Just anything that would work well with this new RX 570 I have would be great. I'd use my old board and cpu, but the HP power supply doesn't supply enough for my new card. lol

That cpu is seriously underpowered. If you want a better cpu without having to upgrade your RAM or mobo I'd suggest one of those fx-8300 series CPUs if you can find them for cheap.

I was thinking of getting a cheap 6 core Xeon and a new motherboard. Would you recommend any?
 
Hello.:)

Nice to see you get another BETTER PC Rack.
That was very kind from your friend.
Good to see you have nice, courteous and helpful people around.:)

your build is kinda like my joy-rigged. some stuff is stock while some stuff custom.
dell inspiron 3650: (custom)

cpu: intel i5-6400 (stock)
psu: evga 500w (custom)
gpu: evga nvidia gtx 1060 SC 6GB (custom)
ram: (stock 8gb ram stick)
HDD: (stock 1tb HDD)

im planning on getting a CPU upgrade but im stuck with the 6th gen cpus(intel). i could also upgrade ram but can only DDR3 sticks.
(stock means that was what was in this thing originally, while custom is what i put into it)
