Hello everyone so I have 300 dollars (Absolute Max no higher) and am wanting to upgrade my PC but do not know what to upgrade, I am thinking GPU would be best for games outside MMOs but CPU for MMOs since I play a lot of MMOs.

PC Specs:

CPU: i5-6500 *Good in every game besides some MMOs like Rift and WoW in certain areas on settings of 5 which translate to Medium and a couple others but these are the main ones*
GPU: R9 380X does 45-50+ frames in every game almost on high-very high and 60+ on every game on medium.
RAM: 16GB DDR4
MOBO: H110M-K *Want it upgraded in the future*
PSU: EVGA 650W P2

I mostly play MMOs but I do sometimes play games like PUBG, H1Z1, Destiny 2, Fallout 4, Warframe, World of Tanks, and World War 2 to name off the non MMOs I play. The MMOS I play about 70 percent of the time are WoW, Aura Kingdom, ASTA Online, and Aion.
 


Not worth changing the platform for it and it would be a lot slower than the max CPU you can put on your board.

You are already running a Skylake i5 Now.

You COULD do a bios update on your MB and get a i7 7700K and CPU cooler and GTX 1060 both and be set for awhile... Years.

The i7 7700K is still one of the top gaming CPU's on the market right under the 8700K and 8600K 8th Generation and well above any Rizen CPU for gaming.

Or if you want to upgrade completely go with a i5 8600K and Z370 motherboard and GTX 1060.
