upgrade that aging FX CPU to a ryzen CPU. you will need a different motherboard, as well as new RAM. what kind of games do you plan on playing?

Rainbow six siege, witcher,  some fps games and mmos

it honestly depends on your budget. this is what i would recommend if you were trying to save a bit.

 

I currently use a GTX 770 from MSI and that runs pretty much any game 1080p. I play anything from Witcher 3, to Dirt Rally. If you only plan 1080p, and you wanna save a buck (because it's an older card) it might be right for you.

As for the rest, you'd probably want a slightly newer motherboard but don't go over the top. make sure it matches your  cpu , ram and gpu as well. I'd go for about 500 - 600 watt PSU. probably the 600.

ram is good, you generally don't need more than 8. however the upgrade to 16 is noticeable. but that's only if you want to spend extra.

the cpu can be either an intel or ryzen. i personally use the intel i7-4770k and would recommend it and the 4790k. most games i play don't require more than that.

Thanks man, I'll look into it

Do you have a budget?  Upgrading GPU would be cheaper most likely as if you upgrade the CPU to something modern like ryzen, you would need new mobo and ram as well.  However, you could upgrade to something like an fx 8300 which you might be able to get used for really cheap.  If you upgrade just the GPU you might find the FX 4300 holding you back.

I don't think getting an fx8300 is agood idea. Money would be wasted on a outdated platform. Get a 1060 and mabey get an i3 8100 and the cheapest 8gb stick of ddr4 and cheapest Z370 motherboard.
