Current AMD cpus are atleast a couple of generations old and weaker than most current intel chips. Even a i3-6100 outperforms most of the AMD cpus in gaming benchmarks. This should be a better upgrade. All necessary parts included with better cpu/gpu/psu.

I'd go with a Skylake build instead. A bit more but it will last longer.
