Need help with upgrade

[Reaperino]

OK so il start by listing my computer specs, im not that fond of the ''new'' fx chip i bought but here goes.
Motherboard:Gigabyte-990ga-ud3.
PSU:850W corsair RM850X.
CPU: AMD FX-8370.
GPU: TWO Asus gtx 780 direct CU II OC.
Harddrives: 3SSD's
RAM: 16gb Corsair vengeance 1600mhz ( yet cant get em to run at 1600mhz since its made for Intel stuff, well i can but the system dont run that good cus i cant change a timing to 160).
well thats about it, i was wondering what youre opinions are on what i should upgrade to and at the lowest cost possible. like motherboard and cpu or something idk, thats why im here to hear you guys's opinion. (sry for bad english)

How much do you want to spend?

[Fasauceome]

Ryzen 5, cheap off eBay you can get the 1600 and the like. Affordable B450 boards are all the rage for budget gamers, the ASRock B450M Pro4 is a great call at the low end. Any cheap DDR4 3000 or whatever speed higher you'd like to spend extra on would do nicely.

 

You could probably sell your graphics cards and get yourself a GTX 1070 or something similar.

your FX should be the first to go, swap it out for a ryzen 2600-3600+SLI capable board (unless you have enough to upgrade your GPU with the CPU).

Budget and country?

[Reaperino]

im thinking of these two maybe either:

1x Intel Core i5-9400F Processor

1x ASUS ROG Strix B360-F Gaming, S-1151

1x HyperX Fury RGB DDR4 16GB 2666MHz (2x8GB)
 
OR

1x AMD AM4 Ryzen 5 2600

1x ASUS ROG Strix B450-F GAMING, Socket-AM4

1x HyperX Fury RGB DDR4 16GB 2666MHz (2x8GB)

what do? ryzen one is like 370 dollars and intel one is 430 dollars ( give or take its in swedish crowns so)
the intel has a bit better performance in some games, but its intel i mean they are pretty cashhungry compared to AMD at the moment, and what about upgrade potential from there? on either boards i mean.

the 2600 and 9400F are evenly matched now, but reviewers are noting that the i5s are stuttering again as compared to the ryzen 2600/3600 CPUs. neither of those boards support SLI so you'll only be able to use one 780.

this is compatible with eachother, doesnt matter with SLI, SLI is a dead gimmick imo...

motherboard might be incompatible with CPU m8.

it's been almost 2 years since the BIOS for zen+ CPUs was released on the X370-F, they're not gonna have stock that old to warrant having to worry about compatibility. Even if it wasn't, AMD offers bootkits specifically for this situation.
