Upgrading my previous build

Can you guys help me with my new build. I'm upgrading this build to Ryzen [currently AM3+].

I just wanted to replace my Mobo, CPU and RAM but the problem is that my GPU is MSI R7 370 4G and I'm not sure which parts to choose to avoid any potential problems like bottlenecking.

My budget is around 15k rupees and I do a lot of gaming.

My current build

CPU - AMD FX 6300

MOBO - MSI 970A G43

RAM - CORSAIR VENGEANCE 8GB

PSU - MWE 550 

HDD - SEAGATE BARRACUDA 1 TB

Budget? Workload? 

Another option would be waiting for zen 3. If you can wait and then get a better GPU. The 370 isn't really the best. But it should be fine for now. Especially if an upgrade is planned. 

PC: Motherboard: ASUS B550M TUF-Plus, CPU: Ryzen 3 3100, CPU Cooler: Arctic Freezer 34, GPU: GIGABYTE WindForce GTX1650S, RAM: HyperX Fury RGB 2x8GB 3200 CL16, Case, CoolerMaster MB311L ARGB, Boot Drive: 250GB MX500, Game Drive: WD Blue 1TB 7200RPM HDD.

 

Peripherals: GK61 (Optical Gateron Red) with Mistel White/Orange keycaps, Logitech G102 (Purple), BitWit Ensemble Grey Deskpad. 

 

Audio: Logitech G432, Moondrop Starfield, Mic: Razer Siren Mini (White).

Thanks. The problem is I don't have the money for a new GPU. And I need to get this done.
