if you plan for gaming, i really wouldn't get a cpu for 30 bucks...
get yourself an i5.. it's about 150-200 bucks but really worth it... already comes with the stock fan, since you are new you wouldn't do overclocking... you can get a good fan later if it's needed...
get ddr4 sticks (16 is enough, you can get only 8 if you want to save money and try to see if it's enough for your use) (protip, thoose x fury are great, but get the ddr4 ones)
a cheap mobo. compatible with the ddr4 sticks (and cpu) this costs about 50
psu, i never had issues with cheap ones, get a 600 watts one, or 800 (if you plan to spend extra on the GPU)

the GPU i would get a good nvidea one... i just like nvidea over ati\amd, got better experience with them...

i know this is kinda costy, but trust me, it's worth...

if you gonna do light gaming, and short on money you can use the inbuilt graphics (the cpu got a part that acts like a graphic card, the motherboard most likely will have an hdmi or vga port)
until you are ready to invest on the graphic card and hardcore gaming..
the old computer doesn't have a Hdmi port...
 
I might be able to upgrade to a less acient computer maybe
That would be ideal, there really aren't any good CPUs that you can drop into an AM3+ socket. You're going to want to look at the FM2+ socket motherboards if you want AMD, or some cheaper LGA 1150 or 1151 socket motherboards if you want intel

Edit: I lied, I did some research and you can put an FX-6300 or FX-8300 into an AM3+ socket, get that instead
