Can someone give me reccomendations on what should upgrade? I want a better gaming experience without going over 200, Im keeping the GPU btw and link the items if you can.

Setup:
AMD FX4300
EVGA GTX 660 ACX COOLER
4gb ram
Antec True Power Trio TP3-430 430W
M5A78l-mUSB3 motherboard
Seagate baracuda 1tb
Dual monitors resolution 3840x1080
 
Solution
Upgrade to 8gb of ram for sure.

Fortunately for you, AMD has released 95w variants of the 8300 cpus, so you can do an fx-8300,8310 or 8320E if you do a bios upgrade on your board.

Why does no one list their OS and 32/64bit version? It's kind of important, if you have a 64bit OS go for the 8 GB of ram immediately... if you have the 32bit OS then you either get a SSD or start saving up for your next build or buy a new GPU. You could also consider doing a fresh install of 64bit but unless the games require more than 4 gigs of ram you won't see a big improvement with 8 gigs of ram and a 64 bit OS vs 4 gigs of ram and a 32 bit OS.
