My current system contains an amd a8 6500 clocked at 3.5 ghz cooled by a cooler master hyper t4, 8gb of corsair vengeance 1600mhz ram, a sapphire r7 260x graphics card and a silverstone 500w power supply, I have a 200 pound upgrade budget (around 335 dollars), what do you think is the best upgrade at the moment and then what do you think I should consider for future upgrades?

what cpu+mb would you reccomend?

Save more and get a better CPU+MB, any upgrade on that isn't worthy at all

 

With that CPU I wouldn't do that...
