I am looking for some suggestion on upgrading my CPU and graphics card. I built this PC in June and its also the first time that I built a computer. It is mostly used for gaming, YouTube, and normal things. My end goal for this system it to max it out with out basically rebuilding it from scratch. Which leaves the only things worth upgrading is the CPU, graphics card, and technically the ram because my motherboard is rated for 32GBs. Has for budget its the cheapest I can get whatever I need. I put the price of what I paid next everything below so you can see that I was trying to save money at every turn. Its in $USD for I live in Texas north DFW area.

You could go down two different routes. Either upgrade your existing LGA 1150 platform to something like a used i7 4770 or i7 4790. They are still plenty capable. Or you could buy a new cpu like a ryzen r5 2600, but that would require you to get a new mainboard and new ram as well. 

For the graphics card I'd suggest a GTX 1060 or 1050 TI, but even a used GTX 960 would give your rig a very noticeable boost in graphical compute power.
