Trouble Upgrading My PC

[TheRIP]

So I have done a lot of watching, reading, and doing a lot of searching to get the best bang for my buck. I Currently Have a:

MOBO- MSI A88X-G45 Gaming Mother Board

CPU- AMD A10-6800k (Stock Cooler - I know, Shame on me)

GPU- MSI GTX 960 2G

RAM- Crucial Ballistix Sport 8GB of RAM DDR3 1600 MT/s ( 4 Gb x 2)

PS- Corsair CX750 ATX 80+ Bronze Power Supply

CASE- Cooler Master HAF X Case

HDD- 15000 GB of Western Digital HDD

No SSD

I Have been looking at Intel Processors, which include the i7-4790k, i7-4790, i5-4590, i5-6600k, and Throw in an MSI GTX 970 4G or an MSI 980 4G, 16 GB of Kingston HyperX Fury, and a Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO. I am currently not overclocking my CPU ( Bad Past on the Subject). But I hope to keep it under $900 USD if all possible. I am willing to hear all criticism and tips from the community in helping me get my PC back to the current age of PC gaming.

You don't need to spend $900 on just upgrading- If you grab a few new parts you'll be set for a while. Here's what I'd recommend:

PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant

CPU: Intel Core i5-6500 3.2GHz Quad-Core Processor  ($199.99 @ SuperBiiz) 
Motherboard: Asus H170-PLUS D3 ATX LGA1151 Motherboard  ($85.99 @ Amazon) 
Storage: Samsung 850 EVO-Series 250GB 2.5" Solid State Drive  ($84.98 @ OutletPC) 
Power Supply: EVGA SuperNOVA G2 650W 80+ Gold Certified Fully-Modular ATX Power Supply  ($99.99 @ NCIX US) 
Total: $470.95
Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when available

You should re-use the GPU, RAM and Case, and just get the other stuff. If you do need more horsepower and are willing to pay more now, grab an R9-390 as well.

I would say use the other parts the other guy before me posted, but if you're willing to spend, 16 gigs of ram would be nice, and I would say get a 970 4g
