I was gonna say and go straight to R5 3600 but living in the same region (Ph here) the mentioned CPU costs about $190 (10k php) IDK if its more expensive in Malaysia. IM currently using a B350 board too so it might be an ok to you too. then just save up a bit and buy the ram. i think you can get atleast another 4gb stick for about $30

Here are two plans:

Plan A: Replace RAM and not have to worry about it, save up for 1680.

Plan B: Get more RAM (1x8 stick DDR4) and a 1680. Upgrade RAM down the line.

 

There allow for better gaming.
