Get an i3 and a new motherboard. The Phenom will be a massive bottleneck for future upgrades.

Primary Build: i7-4790 · 16GB Hynix DDR3-1600 · Sapphire Tri-X R9 390x · NZXT S340 · Win10 Pro · Seagate Barracuda 1TB T_T

Portable: 2015 Retina Macbook Pro 13" · i5-5257u · 512GB PCIe SSD · Intel Iris 6100 T_T

If my post helped you, please rate it!

what storage do you have? if you have 1tb then that should be enough, the cpu wont be able to handle to much but you might be able to keep the ram and if that is 3x2gb sticks then get a new 2x4 gb kit then upgrade the cpu to an 8320 then a used gpu should work fine

Main build
CPU: i7 5820k  MotherBoard: Gigabyte x99 UD4  RAM: corsair ballistix 2400mhz 4x4gb  GPU: Asus GTX 970  PSU: corsair rm1000  SSD 1: Samsung 840evo 500gb  SSD 2: Samsung 850evo 500gb  HDD: Western Digital red 3tb  Case: Phanteks Enthoo pro M  CPU cooler: corsair h80i

 

Second build
CPU: i7 5820k  MotherBoard: Gigabyte x99 UD5 WIFI  RAM: G.skill 2666mhz 4x4gb  GPU: Nvidia GTS 450 (soon to be upgraded)  PSU: corsair HX650  SSD: Samsung 850evo 250gb  Case: Cooler Master 430 elite  CPU cooler: Cooler Master hyper 212 evo

 

Third build

CPU: xeon x5690  MotherBoard: Evga x58 classified 4way-sli  Ram: Patriot 1600mhz 4x3gb  GPU: Asus HD6970  PSU: fractal newton r2 1000w  SSD: crucial m500 240gb  Case: Cooler Master Haf X  CPU cooler: Mega Shadow

this is also a thing on pcpartpicker but if you get it used then you could even go more power with the gpu -

EDIT: go for the fx 6300 instead since i don't think your motherboard supports the 8320

It seems that my mother board doesn't support the FX 6300, so what if i get a new motherboard?

maybe the Gigabyte GA-78LMT-USB3 or the Gigabyte GA-78LMT-S2 ?

It's a bit over your budget, but it should perform well as long as you're realistic about the graphical settings you run.
