I don't believe it's a good choice to get AMD right now, especially the Ax series, as they come with integrated graphics, so you're paying more for nothing, as you gonna buy a GPU too. If you wanna stick with AMD, get a FX. ( But i believe, anyone will recommend getting Intel )

I believe this build is better than your current one, a little more expensive, but the difference you'll get from AMD to Intel is huge.

If you can squeeze out a little more bucks, get a GTX 1060, it's about $100 more, but the perfomance is 2x maybe 3x better.

Make sure to add SDD. Even the cheapest and worst one will make a huge difference in performances.

Yeah... There's that too, couldn't add it on the list, 'cause of the budget. But definetly worth mentioning.

This would be far better, than that AMD rig.
