Nothing will come up if you're getting any post code error.

As a next step? Well if I was broke I'd hop on Craigslist and hope like hell somebody doesn't want too much for their junk. If I had some money in the bank, get at least a G3258 and a cheap Asus H81.
You ram is DDR3 and there are tons out there still using it
Any AM3 or AM3+ board should do fine for you and your RAM. I'd try to stick to full ATX boards that are at least 970 series.
I hope you don't mean buy a new AMD motherboard, because that's almost pointless at this time unless you got a very cheap one that supports your CPU. THen you're taking a gamble at if the CPU actually works or not.Thank both you guys. Answered all my questions and so quick. Can't thank you guys enough.
I'm going to purchase a new motherboard first. Then I can test my ram and CPU off of it.
Either way, I wanted to upgrade everything, bit by bit anyway.
My PS is almost positively fine.
The dvd RW I never used so that should be fine.
The 1.5tb Hard Drive Should be fine.
The case im going to make last until I find something I like.
It comes down to the motherboard, CPU, and ram. Those are the three things I am unsure about, I will start with either the ram or motherboard for starters.
I'm hoping I can salvage the CPU for now, but get a motherboard that will allow me to upgrade it in the future.
Depending on which one I go for I will update you guys soon.
((EDIT))
Oh Jesus PP Mguire. Reading through your CPU and modern games thread and you are actually explaining all my questions about clocking and processors and such.
Thank you!!!!
Lol I see that. Probably the first person I didn't need to link to view it.HEHE see PP people really DO read your CPU thread lol
