Upgrading my starter rig

[My name is Bop]

My rig is still my starter pc i build afew years ago when i first got into pc gaming. 
im running an:

 

amd FX 6300

Gtx 980ti

generic AM3+ motherboard (didnt really put much thought into it) 

750w modular power supply

16gb ddr3 ram

500gb ssd (WITH OS)

1tb sshd (for games) 

 

 

peripherals:

 

24" 1080p asus monitor 

logitech keyboard and mouse (Older so cant see the model number)

my custom HIFI sound system i already had.

 

 

 

Wanting to upgrade it but not sure what to do as i cant upgrade to ryzen. was offered an fx 9590 for £50 and was very tempted as my cpu does need a boost but i think my ram and storage needs a boost too so not sure honestly.

9590 will screw up the board. Get a 8350/8320 or get a new board with the 9590

Honestly, at this point, I wouldnt bother putting more money into this system. Every penny spent on a system that old is wasted. Any AMD FX CPU in this day and age won't cut it.

 

I would replace Motherboard, CPU and RAM. Your GPU, PSU, CASE, SSD, etc. can all be transferred over. 980Ti is still a great GPU (if have it myself)

 

Something like this: For $330 you'll basically have a brand new PC again.
