hi, for fm2+ you pretty much wont get anything better than what you have now, best you can get is a10-7890k, but performance is barely noticeable ,10% performance uplift is no upgrade at all (considering moneys spent)
its still 4 core, wih tiny better boost clock

x4-870k = no diff with a8-6600k

the "upgrade" is pretty marginal - FM2+ wasn't intended to be powerful in the first place, just provide a decent base for multimedia and browsing.
any i3 or Ryzen 3 can easily accomplish the same these days. this is an 10yo platform with the latest chip released in the middle of the last decade = so save your money
 
even i3-3240 (2core ivy bridge) has like 20% performance uplift while price for this cpu on ebay is like 10$
and switching to intel, u have upgrade headroom there (at low cost)
mainboards for this platform goes for 20$+
its still same era (10year old), so ddr3 is there
