You could just find a used 4790K, that will last you for a while longer. If you're set on a new build, that one looks fine. Just make sure you get a CPU cooler for overclocking. Also I'd recommend 16GB of RAM.

That isn't really an upgrade.

What's your budget/country for the new PC?

upgrade for GAMING is changing the GPU!

get a GTX1070 or above for massive improvement

 

going from i5 to overclockable i3 and OC mobo is just dumb

You should probably keep saving until you're at R5 1600 levels for the best value CPU vs the i5 8400

 

the new i3 isn't worth it because you're just going from 4c/4t to 4c/4t with only maybe a 20-30% performance increase at that.

Could also shop for a used Ryzen 5 1600 or better potentially, using the first gen could get you a cheap B350 board, but you'd still want an ASrock Pro 4 or MSI Tomahawk
