Guys, I have a PC that's not that good. the specs are:

AMD fx 6300

GIGABYTE GeForce GTX 960 4GB WINDFORCE 2X OC EDITION

ASUS M5A99FX PRO R2.0 AM3+ AMD 990FX SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX AMD Motherboard

Corsair Vengeance Pro 16GB 2x8GB DDR3 2400MHz PC3 19200

EVGA 600 B1 80+ BRONZE, 600W

I know that Ryzen will be coming out very soon. I saved up $500 for a new pc upgrade. I really don't know what to upgrade first, since if i get the amd zen, i will need to change my mobo and ram. Im looking at gtx 1060 or 1070

you need to upgrade the platform. a 9590 or 9370 is a nutty upgrade, especially at this point in time. no other amd cpu will give you much of an upgrade at all at this point in time.

compliment your 960 with a decent processor and you'll gain real performance. ( ZEN or Intel current cpu ) ( even the cheaper stuff )

I have a 3.3ghz xeon with an amd380 that blows an AMD 8300+ and a 970 out of the water. no contest.
