I currently own an rx-480 4gb and an fx 8350 and 8gb ddr3 ram I’m running a thermaltake tr2 600 Watt psu. I’m looking for a motherboard, cpu, and 8gbs/16gbs of ram because the fx 8350 is really holding me back. I’m looking to running games like gta 5, for honor, overwatch, project cars 2, at 120-144 FPS at medium or high settings. My budget is $300, also forgot to mention I have a normal ATX case.

hmm,with $300, and your current other parts, i'd say your best bet is buying used, so you can get a decent cpu/mobo and not have to spend extra on new ram.

for example, an i7-4790 (non-k) seems to go for around $200-240 on Ebay, and a suitable motherboard can be found for about $30-50 (make sure the motherboard supports the cpu, check the product website)
