Need help upgrading

[FRN]

I have a 4 year old AMD build. It performs well enough for me in gaming, but I'm looking to work part time as a freelance programmer aside from my full time job. I don't want to spend a huge amount of money for the build and I would like to keep my head(s) attached to my body (I'm married).

 

Here's my current setup:

AMD FX 6100

PowerColor R7 260X (bought last year)

4GB of RAM (I know, for gaming, it isn't enough)

Enermax 500W PSU

MSI 880GMS-E41 (FX)

1TB Caviar Blue

 

My budget is $500 (more or less 24,000 in Ph Peso). If you can squeeze that budget on an i5 and 1060 or even a 480, that would be great.

 

Would like to buy my parts here: http://tipidpc.com/useritems.php?username=pchub

I want to say only one thing. You don't have to have a top end computer for programming. I use Acer Aspire 5100 with Linux and I'm fine.

i5 6500 and some cheap 1151 socket board with d3 in its name, so you can use your ddr3 stick. Also another 4gb stick. If you got dough for gpu then go with 480 or 1060

My work laptop is an i5 3120M with 8GB of memory, yet it is still slow.
