I got $500 (usd on Amazon) and wanted to upgrade my computer. What should I upgrade?

 

What I have:

CPU- AMD FX-6300 - 3.5 GHz 
CPU Cooler- Corsair H60 AIO 
GPU- GTX 1050 Gaming Ti 
RAM- 8GB DDR3 
PSU- Thermaltake SMART 600W 
HDD- WD Blue 1TB SATA 6 
SSD- SanDisk Ultra II 500GB SATA III 
Case- Corsair Carbide Series 100R Mid Tower

 

I was thinking of upgrading to a Ryzen 5, mobo, and ram. Any recommendations would be great!

Pretty much R5 1600

Dunno if that cooler supports AM4 at all though, if it's old you should just replace it maybe anyways after you sell your old parts, a Cryorig H5/H7 is pretty solid for the money

RAM PRICES ARE ALMOST NORMAL FOR SOME REASON

 I don't know if the RAM will stay that cheap, also no reason for B350 unless you want to save on the motherboard but have a worse overclocking experience

 

1600X if you have an after market cooler already and it's the same price.

Really all I can Recommend is using the money to get a New CPU and Mobo and ram. It could be a Ryzen 5 1600 and a Asus B350-f Strix and 16 gb of RAM. Everything else seems pretty good.

That board only has a 4 + 4 VRM, not worth it over cheaper options as it really shouldn't be much better.
