Is my PC good?

[DJMasHup007]

Hello guys!

I have some money for a PC upgrade, i am playing at 1080p but i am planning to install extreme custom graphics mods in the future.

My current setup:
-AMD FX-8320 (4GHz oc)
-16gb 1866MHz 
-AMD R9 380 4gb
-ASRock 990fx Fatal1ty Killer
i have about 450-500 usd for upgrade, also keep in mind that i know a shop where they will buy my parts for retail prices.
so option1 is selling my gpu and buying an r9 390x or relevant.
option 2 is selling mobo,cpu and ram and upgrade to skylake
last option 3 is selling all 4 parts and buying a new gpu and a skylake upgrade

I'd go for 1

If you can, get an i5 and a 390 8gb (not the 390x).

Upgrade to Skylage since games most likely run better on intel platforms, also, you'll get DDR4...

I agree with this. You can take a look at the i5 6400.

if you're just planning on gaming option 1 is the best choice.

Yeah, and spend $100 more

@Watermelon GuyIf he decides to buy a new chipset somewhere in the future, he can at least keep his RAM...

[DJMasHup007]

Can you suggest a good mobo full atx (no z170) which has 2 way sli and xfire support, 4 sticks of ram slots and an agressive look, only asus or asrock(i have bad experience with msi and gigabyte mobos)?

Yeah, but this is the wrong time of year to upgrade.
