So I need some help with upgrading parts of my pc..

This is my current build :
✦CPU
↳AMD Athlon X4 860K
✦RAM
↳16,0GB Dual-Channel DDR3 @ 810MHz
✦Motherboard
↳MSI A68HM-E33 V2
✦Graphics
↳2GB ATI AMD Radeon R7 200 Series
✦Storage
↳1000GB TOSHIBA DT01ACA100 (SATA )

What to do..What to keep what to upgrade?
Thanks

what is the budget?
I suggest a new trinity, RAM, CPU and Motherboard. if the budget will allow an SSD and a PSU to be safe, you did not list that part.

300$ for now..
PSU is 500W in right now.

that was relatively easy, I just did this upgrade for me. different PSU. RAM works with the board out of the box with XMP, my 1500x got me to 3.8Ghz on the stock cooler stably with no adjustments.
make and model of the PSU? wattage is not relevant many lie about that anyway. many 500w units are only 350-400W capable, the one I suggested will deliver 648W on the 12V

a bit on the pricey side but rebates negate most of the overbudget madness.
the 1200 is a huge upgrade and you can upgrade that r7 too.
SSD can be added later the patriot burst is cheap.

the 1500x would choke the r7, the rx 570 would choke the 860x. this will be fairly balanced, stable and in budget, with upgrade paths a plenty, board will take any of the ryzen chips later.
