So Im planning on upgrading to an R3 2200G ore an i3 8100 sistem and upgrading my power supply (because Ill be „Nolyfing“ (gaming) around 8 hours per day in the summer) from MASTERWATT 500 LITE 80 plus to a BE QUIET SFX-L 500W 80PLUS GOLD. https://www.1a.lt/kompiuteriu_komponentai_tinklo_produktai/korpusas_ir_ausinimas/maitinimo_blokai/be_quiet_power_supply_sfxl_500w_80plus_gold

I cannot decide witch CPU to get and I do not know if I should upgrade my power supply.

The current specks of my pc:

FX 4320, 4 gigs ddr3 1666mhz, RX 460 Factory oc 2gb.

Im planning on upgrading at the end of April.

Your current 460 is more powerful than the 2200g, so it wouldn't be an upgrade. 

Between these 2 choices, I'd upgrade your system to the Intel chip, but be aware, you'll need new RAM to go with the MOBO and CPU.  The PSU you have will provide enough power for the intel system.  500W is plenty.

PSU:

Why SFX? They are physically smaller and more expensive, that's it. Performance is no better than ATX.

 

This one instead

Or this one if you want modualr cables

Efficiency rating isnt the most important after Bronze because electricity isnt that expensive and some Bronze units are already reasonably well-built to last some time.

 

If you want some others then follow this list

Tier 3 or above is good. Tier 4 is for old and very cheap systems (like Core 2), below that belongs to the incinerators.

 

CPU:

Can you wait? If you can the best choice is wait for H310/B360/H370 mobo to turn up and use one with an i3-8100. If you cant, get 2200G with B350 mobo. RX 460 can stay since it is faster than integrated graphics on both CPUs.
