From what I understand to get a better processor I need to get a new motherboard and DDR4 but it gets confusing as I have no idea how to go about it.
I saw bundles on Amazon for this specific problem but Im not sure if I should trust those. So thats why I need your help. How do I upgrade my current specs (budget £500) ?

My current specs:
Processor (CPU) - AMD A10-7700K Quad Core APU (3.8GHz) & Radeon™ R7 Series Graphics
Motherboard - ASUS® A68HM PLUS FM2+ (M-ATX, DDR3, USB 3.0, 6Gb/s)
DDR3 - 10GB
(Graphics Card - AMD Radeon R9 380 Series but I feel like its fine for now compared to the rest)

Something like this will be an immediate upgrade that would also provide a great upgrade path for the future. Your GPU though is a bit weak but will suffice until you can upgrade that on your next round.
