So my pc has an FX-6300 cpu overclocked at 4.2 Ghz, 8GB of 1600 Mhz DDR3 ram, and an rx 560 4gb for my gpu. I have a little bit of money and i can either get a better cpu cooler (im using the black edition cooler) and 8gb more ram, or i can get an fx-8350. what do you guys recommend for gaming? And before you say save for a ryzen or something like that, yes i know that FX series is an old chip but its all i could afford and i dont need the best thing on the market. I just want to know if I would benefit more from overclocking my cpu more and with more ram or if getting an fx-8350 would benefit more in games. ( im mainly talking about destiny 2 here)

But why would you spend money on what are almost sidegrades, when you could wait a bit more and actually upgrade your machine?
