Hi guys it's been a couple years since I built my original pc and I could use some help building a new one feel free to post a few build even if someone else has the more info the better. So my budget is around 300$ I could go as high as 400$ but really looking to stay around 300$. I'm looking for more money spent CPU wise as I want to play CPU intesivish games like arma escape from tarkov and pug. Things I already have. Gpu pny gtx 960 2gb ddr5 and 120gb ssd and 4x4gb ddr3 vengeance ram. Every other part needed excluding monitor keyboard mouse. THANKS!

Not really, old gen I5 and I7 are crazy expensive, but you can shoot for ebay to try on 4th gen I7 and a MB. Like this: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Intel-Core-i7-4790K-Processor-8M-Cache-up-to-4-40-GHz-BX80646I74790K/372129899717?epid=197284894&hash=item56a4aba4c5:g:wjgAAOSw9hdZ8haH
and will reach 400 mark, but better functionality you can't enjoy with 960 2gb... stick to above 2 builds and sell your 16gb ram

So are you saying even with the ryzen build above the 960 isn't good enough? I figured 2gb ram was sufficient I don't care as much about maxing settings I just want to get rid of the studder and frame drops caused by a CPU my current CPU if anyone was wondering btw is amd athlon 760k overclocked to 4.1 ghz

8gb minimum RAM is required by todays gaming standards. The 960 should be good enough for the next 2yrs @1080p if you are not obsessed with ultra settings. It should be able to drive pretty much any game at moderate settings.
The Ryzen build above is a quadcore build with Hyperthreading and should fare you better on cpu intensive games.
