Hi, I am a self-pronounced "hardcore" gamer. I've recently bought an entry level gaming pc, and have roughly 400$ to spend on upgrades. I would really appreciate some help if someone could help pick out some upgrades that can run crysis 3, far cry, etc high settings at 1080p smoothly.

Specs

M95A7 motherboard

8gb ram

1tb hard drive

GTX 650 2GB

fx-6100 CPU

430 watt power supply

Thanks in advanced.

Eclipse Version 3: i5 9600K | Asus Strix Z390| GTX 1070 | 16GB Kingston Beast | Samsung 840 EVO 500GB SSD [2] +WD Blue 1TB | NZXT H440 | EVGA 750 W | Dark Rock Pro 4| Beyerdynamic DT880 Premium

Get a FX-8350, a good CPU cooler, a Radeon 7970 Ghz Edition or Radeon 7950 and a Corsair Enthusiast Series TX750M 750W (or any other decent PSU). You will need more than 400$ though, but if you can sell your CPU and PSU maybe you'll be able to afford it.

He could even go with a Cooler Master V8 cooler for around $50.
