I know its old junk but its what i have i can use the case and slow build upon it.

What i currently have:
https://www.amazon.com/CyberpowerPC-Gamer-GUA880-Gaming-Desktop/dp/B0089KDCIU

I am trying to figure out what motherboard it has so i can begin gathering parts to fit etc. I would like to keep the case and try to salvage what i can and upgrade like graphics card maybe processor if needed, power supply etc. I dont need anything godly or have the best of the best just run a few old games

/Edit, found a parts list from someone elses build any opinions on the motherboard used?

...simply install it...and run the program...then post a screen shot of the main page of the program, when posting a problem/question on these forums.










It'll look something like this...

your link doesn't work, pc's old I would start with a new mobo/cpu/ram/gpu. Rest you can keep and reuse with the exception of the psu which will depend on its wattage output.
so it comes down to ur budget.

Which link are you referring to the one about the pc details? Or the build list? Ill put some details of the old pc in the posting




The cyberpower gua880 specs:
AMD FX-4300 3.80GHZ Quad-Core | AMD 760G Chipset | 8GB DDR3 | 1TB HDD | Genuine Windows 7 Professional 64-bit
NVIDIA GeForce GT720 1GB Video Card | 24X

The motherboard listed in the pc build link is:
MSI 760GM-P34(FX) Micro ATX AM3+ Motherboard


The build list shows its for a gua880 that they have customized.

Is there a model or part number on the old mobo itself that i could look up to distinguish which one it has?


My budget will be probably around 400-500 as ill slowly gain parts look for some deals etc. Not going to order everything all at once but def want to get it going in the next month or 2

These will work in your system. But it's probably time to get new CPU, motherboard and RAM, as this old stuff is really overpriced now.

Here, I added in a power supply and (if desired) a vid card... I'm not too sure of your budget...
