I have an old Dell that is running out of disk space so I'm looking to upgrade just the tower. I use my computer for just basic things music and pictures kids papers. Don't play any games. Looking to spend around $500 so I'm open to all suggestions! Thanks

You recommended an incompatible motherboard and CPU. That board is an AM3+ board and the CPU is socket FM1.

This board will work with the CPU.
