Hey guys, So I've got a budget of about €340 euro and am looking to buy a CPU+Motherboard and a Hyper 212x CPU Cooler (€34) Mainly for gaming by the way. Any Idea's? Im looking into it myself but am open to suggestions. Thanks. : )
My Current PC Specs are:
CPU: Athlon x4 860k
GPU: GTX 950 SSC
RAM: 8GB 1600mhz
Mobo: Asus A88XM-A
HDD: x2 1TB HDD
 
Solution
Rather than spending money to upgrade your rig, keep your money and plan for bigger overhaul.
Move to Intel platform or the next zen.

If you really wants the upgrade anyhow, go for better GPU like RX480 and a good cooler to OC your processor.
or
RX470+CM Hyper 212+250 EVO 840 SSD...I think together will cost max €340.

I agree, changing the motherboard for an intel cpu would be the best choice, the cpu you have now wouldnt be worth upgrading on the same motherboard tbh due to the best cpu in that socket being a 880k which is decent but not great. The GPU is decent, it would be good to upgrade but not the most important thing atm is changing your motherboard to a motherboard with an LGA 1151 cpu socket and the cpu to an i3 6100 would be the best option and upgrade the gpu later.
