Motherboard/CPU upgrade

Hello, thank you for looking at my post.

I would like to upgrade my motherboard sometime over the summer, and I'm not sure if I should upgrade my CPU as well, but, if I do upgrade my CPU, I would like to upgrade to an i5 of some sort.  I am currently running on a Kaveri APU build, and I regret the motherboard that I chose, as it is bad for overclocking, and, it being an mATX board, it is impossible to run SLI or Crossfire unless I crossfire my APU with an r7 250x (the most powerful option for crossfire).  I also don't have room for both my current wifi card and a graphics card, so, if I get a new graphics card before I upgrade the mobo, I will also have to buy a wifi card that connects through USB.  Any way, if you have any suggestions on upgrading for an FM2+ socket, it is greatly appreciated.  If I decide to upgrade to an i5, I would like to know of some good options for that as well.  I will probably also buy an SSD when I upgrade my mobo as well, as I currently run windows on a simple 7200 rpm hard drive.  It's not the slowest thing in the world, but it's of course slower than an SSD as a boot drive.  So, if you have any suggestions for a 120 gig to 240 gig SSD, that would be great as well.

 

Current mobo: Asus A88XM-A mATX motherboard

 

Considered mobos: (none yet)
