Hello everyone, I'm looking for recommendations on what motherboard and CPU I should get to upgrade my current PC. I do game as this is primarily a gaming PC but I also use programs such as Adobe Premiere and After Effects for videos editing. I also plan on streaming from this PC as soon as I change my ISP for way faster down and upload speeds. Also do plan on overclocking a bit. I' like to spend around $500 at most but could possibly go a little more if I must. Of course cheaper would be nice as well. My current specs are as follows:

 

CPU: AMD FX-8320
Mobo: Gigabyte 970A-DS3P
PSU: EVGA 500W Bronze Certified 

GPU: EVGA GTX 1060 3GB SSC
RAM: HyperX Fury 8GB (2x4GB)
Cooler: Cooler Master 212 Evo

Case: NZXT S340 Elite

 

Side note: I do enjoy RGB lol

Also consider change your PSU since it's a mediocre PSU.

Na they pretty good. They not amazing but his system doesn't need that. I'm just happy to see its a good brand with a 80+ Rating. SO sO many fall for the more Watts less quality trap.
