16 GB of RAM will cost about $60-$70 and ATX motherboard prices vary wildly depending on what you get. You could do something like this and still stay within budget. Your motherboard options are pretty limited in your price range.

Yeah. Even if you don't the money, an i3-6100 shouldn't bottleneck either a GTX 480 or RX 480, but it won't last you as long as an i5-6500. If you do manage to get the money, it'd be worth getting an i5.
