Upgrade help

[Deleted]

So I recently had to make a quick purchase of a new pc as my old one suddenly bust and I need a home pc for work so as a quick replacement I have this:

It really is budget as it can barely run DayZ and just about handles WoW and CS:GO so the question is, as I get my lovely small pay cheques over time where and with what should I upgrade first? I'm competent enough to put it together but I'm completely blurry when it comes to whether components are compatible and the like. Preferably I'd like to upgrade the GFX card first but like I said, whatever it can run with what its got. I also have a large spare case if components start getting big with upgrades.

Current Spec if you dont want to click the link:

CPU: AMD A8-6500 APU (3.5 ghz 4.1 ghz with turbo core, 4MB cache)
RAM: 6GB DDR3
GFX: AMD Radeon HD 8670D (1GB card)
MOBO: AMD A75 FCH Chipset
PSU: 300W

Any and all help would be greatly appreciated

PSU, then get a discrete GPU, then CPU/mobo. The PSUs used in those are deisnged for pretty much office-use only.

I'm sorry if I sound like a novice but you don't learn if you don't ask right? :P

1) So there's nothing wrong with un-mounting it from the small case it's currently in and mounting it into my large spare case?

2) is a 'discrete' graphics card one that does not physically connect to the motherboard or something like that? It doesn't need to take extra power from the mobo?

3) Can I pull the 6GB DDR3 RAM out of my old machine and just plug it right into my new one? it has two channels free.

1) Yes you can switch cases.

2) A discrete graphics card will use a PCI-e slot on the motherboard and require its own power cables.

3) Its generally not a good idea to mix RAM.

And I can't use an Nvidia card with that set up can I? I'm stuck with AMD?

It's hard to tell what you can and cant use, since the motherboard isn't listed, and all the pictures on that website are broken =/

EDIT: I think it's this so you should be able to add a GPU (ATI or nVidia, doesn't really matter), but yeah... You'll likely want to upgrade the PSU as well... those "300w" ones are rarely more than 200 in actuality.
