going from the fx6300 to pentium g4560 is not exactly an upgrade.

For those of u hesitant about FX 6300, check this out http://www.3dmark.com/search#/?mode=advanced&url=/proxycon/ajax/search/cpugpu/spy/P/1543/1092/500000?minScore=0&cpuName=AMD%20FX-6300&gpuName=AMD%20Radeon%20RX%20480
The Pentium counter-part http://www.3dmark.com/search#/?mode=advanced&url=/proxycon/ajax/search/cpugpu/spy/P/2205/1092/500000?minScore=0&cpuName=Intel%20Pentium%20G4560&gpuName=AMD%20Radeon%20RX%20480
i3 7350k http://www.3dmark.com/search#/?mode=advanced&url=/proxycon/ajax/search/cpugpu/spy/P/2197/1092/500000?minScore=0&cpuName=Intel%20Core%20i3-7350K&gpuName=AMD%20Radeon%20RX%20480

a sensible upgrade for now would be a ssd like zotac premium edition 240gb and a sapphire r9 fury. if ur ram is 1x8 go for 2x8 for dual channel

Maybe just wait till March 4th to get a Ryzen cpu and AM4 board.

so you think I should stay with the FX 6300 because it is good enough?

new releases will probably be expensive,the ones I checked I can buy with 300-350 all(gpu,cpu,mboard)

yeah, till u have enough money for a major overall upgrade. for now get a fury(if ur psu is a good quality like 80+ bronze. fury consumes a lot of power almost 200w)

Plan out your moves 2 steps ahead like a chess game. Focus on long term usage of hardware like power supply, ssd, cpu cooler, gpu. These parts can move between systems as your rig grows and matures. I still have a 2 yr old Thermaltake case and every time I upgrade a component I put the old one into that case. Once complete it can be sold for hundreds of dollars while you keep the good parts.
