I purchased a pre-built desktop off newegg last year. Now i have slowly been upgrading my computer 1 part at a time. I would like to upgrade my current motherboard and my CPU that I have. All recommendations are greatly greatly appreciated! I play Dayz which is highly CPU intensive more than anything the way its horribly optimized. I'm wanting upgrades that will be compatible with my PSU and that I wont have to upgrade in the near future. This is strictly for gaming and my budget is around $500-600 for the combo.

Here are my current parts:

Motherboard: 760GM-P34 AMD (needs upgraded)
PCU: AMD FX-6300 3.5GHz (needs upgraded)

RAM: 8GB DDR3
GPU: MSI NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970 OC 4GB GDDR5
PCU Coolor:Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO - CPU Cooler with 120 mm PWM Fan.
PSU: SeaSonic S12II 520 Bronze 520W ATX12V V2.3 / EPS 12V V2.91 80 PLUS BRONZE Certified Active PFC Power Supply
Tower: NZXT Phantom PHAN-001WT White Steel / Plastic Enthusiast ATX Full Tower Computer Case

Thanks to everyone for your time and responses!
