This is my current pc:

CPU: i7 870 2.93ghz (boost to 3.6 unavailable due to bad cooler)
GPU: GTX 560 MSI
MBO: ASUS P7H55 M-PRO
RAM: 4x2 Kingston RAM DDR 3 1333mhz
PSU: LC POWER 6550 v2.2 (i got it used, didnt give me any trouble for almost a year)
SSD: Patriot Burst Elite 120GB
HDD: Seagate 250GB
And some old micro atx case with no fans inside.

My budget is ~$300 and im gonna upgrade in no longer than 2 months.
I was thinking about getting new r3 4100 because it will cover all esport titles i would be playing and a decent mbo and 16gb of ram.
Can someone give an advice for this? Im not going to be playing any AAA games so i prioritize getting new cpu.
