"no cpu upgrade, dead end platform"

if you want a better processor then you need to completely build a new setup


since your motherboard is pretty crap there is no overclocking the 8320, so a gtx 1050 ti is about max gpu wise

its a huge upgrade over a 250



its not worth spending any further money

get the psu and 1050 ti and save the rest of your money for a new platform
