Budget: $425
Current build: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/2pkVt6

I already have 16gb of DDR4 ram, so count that out of the price of the upgrade.
I already have this CPU cooler, so if a cooler is involved in the upgrade and this is compatible, count that out of the price of the upgrade.

Thanks. I'm okay with waiting for Ryzen if that's involved.
 
Solution
My 2 cents, wait a little, see if Ryzen actually drops in a few weeks and look at some real world benchmarks. Other than that, I'd switch to a a new i3 build so you could use the DDR4 you already have.

Good reply, I'll probably buy some new games and have a good time. :)

I've always had a bit of a CPU bottleneck, so I'll just wait for Zen and Cannon Lake. I'll get an i5/i5 equivalant instead of trying to get an i7/i7 equivalant.

Good idea, and also fits in quite well with Tank36's solution.
