[Upgrading] Recommendations Wanted

I plan on upgrading my younger brothers PC and was wondering what to get and if I should buy some parts now or wait and see what's gonna be on sale on Black Friday & Cyber Monday? The main things to upgrade are the CPU, CPU cooler & GPU, and I was also thinking about getting an SSD for the boot drive. My budget is about $300-$350.

 

 

Current Specs:

 

  • Case - Fractal Design Arc Midi R2
  • CPU - AMD FX-4300
  • GPU - ASUS HD7790-DC2OC-1GD5
  • RAM - G.SKILL Sniper Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 1866
  • Storage - WD Blue 1TB 7200
  • Motherboard - Gigabyte GA-970A-D3P
  • Power Supply - Corsair CX500
  • CPU Cooler - Cooler Master Hyper 101i

 

Thanks for any suggestions  :)

Black friday is not that far away you should wait for it.

Beware of him that is slow to anger; for when it is long coming, it is the stronger when it comes, and the longer kept. Abused patience turns to fury.
