This is my build. https://pcpartpicker.com/list/dGkPvV

I have about 200 dollars after christmas and I want to make some upgrades. What upgrade would be most worth it.

I play games like overwatch and do some light photo editing.

Not a whole lot tbh that is really worth it. AM3+ is dead and getting an FX-8350 wouldn't be worth it. You could get an SSD or maybe even an RX 470/480 but that's about it. Imo id save up another $150 and see what Ryzen offers in the $200 range. $100 for the mobo and $50 for RAM since Overwatch is more CPU bound then GPU so your 370 is plenty for overwatch

Get another stick of 8gb ram and save the rest, you need like 300 to upgrade the cpu and buy a new mobo with a m.2 slot and z170
