So I am looking to make an upgrade to my PC. Its an Acer (I am not home so I can't give all the exact part numbers but here we go) 3.2 Ghz, 16 gig Ram ( I THINK DDR3) with a 500 GB (I dont think its 1 TB) but storage wise I am fine, i dont save much stuff at all.
I am looking to upgrade to the point I probably wont ahve to upgrade again for a long time. I know, Yea Right in the PC world lol. I mostly play heavily modded Minecraft and modded Kerbal Space Program. I always played Xbox360 but since new games are starting to be on the XboxOne I would rather switch to PC and just upgrade there when needed. I have a 2 GB Raedon Videocard (not sure exact specs since I am not home) which I think is a decent one. Mainly I am looking to just upgrade my Motherbord and CPU. I already got a 550 Watt power supply and my case seems to be standard size so I am just going to reuse it.
(sorry if no links, I didnt see anything in the rules)
This is what I am lookgn at. I have a STRONG preference to AMD, they ahve never failed me and I dont like Intel as a company overall, but lets not get off topic.
The processor I am looking at:

The motherboard:

Does those look good?
BTW the threads about different parts and what is what are FANTASTIC, just a little outdated
