Hello
I have a GeForce GTX 1050 Ti AERO ITX 4G OC, with a fx-6300 3.5ghz, for motherboard I have a Asus M5A78L-M LX3 with 16ram(2x8) DDR3 RipjawsX. I have a Kingston 120GB SSD A400 2.5 SATA III as primary storage plus 3.5" Western Digital Blue 1TB 7200RPM 64MB SATA III as secondary storage, for power I have a Corsair CX Series 430 Watt 80+ ATX psu.

And I want to upgrade my cpu for a better one that has a better performance with my 1050ti
but to upgrade my cpu i need to upgrade my motherboard and ram aswell.

My budget is 400 max for my cpu, motherboard and 1 ram stick 8gb.
thank you! :3

I'm sorry i forgot to mention if the ram could be one stick of 8gb instead of 2x4gb bc i will add more 8gb in the future
 
You can do that. Just remember that its a dual channel platform and running dual channel is optimal in terms of performance. And moreover, with one stick, if that stick fails, there is nothing left to boot the pc.
Not saying its a bad practice or something like that, but you should be aware of the pros and cons as well.
