Hello everyone!
I am on a $150 budget for an upgrae!
I am upgrading my CPU and Mobo and I need help. 
Can anyone send a list of a good $150 upgrade? 

More info: My friend recommended me an FX 6300 processor which is $107 in amazon.
If there is a good mobo combo with the FX 6300, I would really appreciate it!
Thank you all~

Specs:
CPU: A4-3420
GPU: GTX 660 MSI OC
RAM: 6GB DDR3 1600MHz
PSU: 500w EVGA 80 plus (Not Bronze)
OS: Windows 8

The Pentium is a better CPU if youre gaming and much cheaper Im not a fanboy i tell it how it is. I would suggest getting that + a hyper 212 evo if you want to overclock and z87/z97 pc mate mobo both are cheap.
