So I have bought this prebuild PC on BestBuy, and I have been using it for around 8 months. I'm planning to upgrade this PC for mainstream game like Fallout 4, Batman Arkham, Battlefiled1, ect. My question is which part should I upgrade, and which part should I keep. I'm also wanted to upgrade the GPU to the RX 480, RX 470, or the GTX 1060, but I worried that my current CPU will bottleneck it. By the way, my budget is around $500.
Here's are my specs
CPU: AMD FX-8320(overclocked to 4.2 ghz)
Motherboard: GA-78LMT-USB3 6.0
GPU: AMD R7 250(core clock is overclocked to 1250 mhz, memory clock is overclocked to 1020 mhz)
RAM: 16Gb DDR3 1600 mhz
Hard drive: 2tb seagate 7200 RPM

Any help would be appreciated, and I'm sorry if my grammar is bad.

The architecture of the FX CPUs is pretty outdated and slow, but you would definitely still see a big gaming boost by moving to an RX 480. I'd buy that and pocket the extra $300 towards a CPU upgrade in a few years time. what's your power supply?
