Well, an FX-8350 is close to the RYZEN 3 1200 in gaming, although, it's much less efficient. I would recommend saving up for a RYZEN 3 CPU. Get an estimate for what you can get for your current Motherboard, CPU and RAM and then get the price for a RYZEN 3, Motherboard and RAM so you know how much you need to save up, shouldn't be that much, and totally worth it as you'll get DDR4 RAM and a much better upgrade path.

Quote me so I can reply back :)

Is that what you need after selling the CPU, Motherboard and RAM?

So, that's what you need before selling the CPU, Motherboard and RAM, that's not bad.
