Well it all depends what you are using your PC for and what is your budget?

Anything around or over 200$ is the best
and I am using it primarily for gaming

upgrade CPU to an i5 and save up for a better GPU

Get a 4 core CPU like i5-3570 http://pcpartpicker.com/part/intel-cpu-bx80637i53570 ( new games use 4 cores) and a decent graphic card R9 270 or GTX 760.

I ended up getting only the gtx 760

next needed upgrade would be to at least an i5 so you have more powerful cores and most importantly 4 of them.
