If you want those exact same parts, then you definitely save money but for $8 more,  you can get this with 3000mhz

So I've been looking to upgrade my pc for a while now and don't know what would be the best product for my price point. Currently I have an AMD FX 8320 for my cpu, some motherboard that I don't think is exactly relevant (its a Gigabyte 78LMT) and a GTX 950 from zotac for my graphics card. I'm looking to replace all three, and ive only got ~$500. So if any of you can help me get a decent upgrade for that price I'm all ears.

yea i figured that but wont the stick cooler do until I cant build up my cash supply, I dont plan on overclocking 

The R5 1600 comes with a decent stock cooler that will let you OC a bit without upgrade the cooler, if you want high end overclocks then you should get a different cooler. (I know you said you don't plan to OC but to maximize performance, you should give the R5 1600 a small bump).

 

You can also sell the parts you have now and get a GTX 1060 6GB instead of the 1050ti, the 1060 6gb would be about $100 more.( but more than double the performance)

Quick question could i just swap my graphics card to the 1050 and wait until i can afford a new computer, or would my CPU bottleneck its performance?
