I have an AMD FX4350 as you can see with an ATI AMD Radeon R7 200 series. I have a budget of maybe 400 to 550 euro for both. What would be a decent upgrade that would fit the current setup? Try to keep it AMD but if another make is compatible fire ahead. The board is 970A-DS3P D33006. I googled it and one of the first results was rev.1. The PSU is also a 500W one!

Also would I be able to run 2 graphics cards like crossfire with the current specs? I was looking at the Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1060 3GB 3GB Mini ITX OC ?
Thanks in advance,
Conor

I'm going to asume you already have a case & HDD from old the machine. Depending on if you windows is an OEM or retail license you may need to buy a new one. Whats the model of your power supply? You may not need to replace if it's high quality.
