Hello guys! A few years ago I built this PC:

  • *FX 4300 3.8GHz
    *8gb DDR3 RAM
    *GTX 960 2GB Zotac
    *[censored] AsRock motherboard.
I had a really low budget and so I decided to spend a lot of money for the GPU and to get a crappy CPU. My idea was to wait until I had enough money to change something (but not the GPU!). THE MOMENT HAS ARRIVED! Now I've got a budget around 500€ and I decided to ask you for some advice. I want to change for sure RAM, motherboard, CPU and PSU. What would you buy, if you were me? Thanks! And sorry for my bad English.
