Need advice on Old rig

[Jazz15RS]

Hi Guys,

Found the following parts while tidying up my room.

Decide to build a desktop with this setup but need more advices from forumers.

CPU: AMD X3 2.9Ghz
MB: Biostar TA785GE 128M
VGA: Radeon 4850
Ram: 4GB
PSU: FPS 430watt


Some questions on the above setup

1) Can the mobo support AM3 CPU? Saw on some web that its support AM3 but the mobo itself indicates as an AM2+ mobo.

2) Which is the best cpu the mobo can support if 1) is valid?

3) For games like CS CZ, Left4dead 2, Dota2, Sim city and some non FPS games, is the setup sufficient?

I look forward to some feedbacks.

I don't think these processor are readily available. I think you can try finding it from the marketplace.
