Id get a i5 at least, a i3 isn't that much faster than a 8320.

 

Id probably wait, or spend a bit more for that i5.

Save up for a i5-6400 and get a namebrand PSU (they will cost the same or less) the Corsair CX 550m (with the grey label) is a good choice.

So ditch the sama for a corsair and then switch to an i5 6400 and it should be good to go?

That's not much of an upgrade at all.

would it actually be better to go with an i5 6500 instead, He is wondering because people are telling him the i5 6400 could bottleneck some gpus because of its clockspeed in some games.

Nobody's replying cuz you're not quoting their posts. People won't see you replied unless you do that.

 

Yes the 6500 would be a lot better, at least he'll see significant jump in performance.

 

And change that SAMA PSU to either of these:
