gaming pc upgrade?

[ajjames21]

Hello,
I am trying to determine the best thing to upgrade in my PC. here are the components I have in it right now.
CPU: AMD fx-8350
GPU: GTX 1060 6gb
RAM: 24GB
1TB HDD
250GB SSD
Motherboard: ASUS M5A97 PLUS

Any recommendations can help! (send links if possible)

what is the budget?
as it stands the GTX is respectable but the CPU, RAM and mobo need to go. judging by their age I am guessing a new PSU to protect the new parts is in order. what PSU do you have?

going cheap, PSU may be optional but do not skimp on the PSU.

my budget is up to $500. I have a Thermaltake 500w power supply in it.

then yes a new PSU too.
you could modify the list above with another CPU or motherboard.
list above is a guide.
I used the same RAM and mobo in my last build, so I know they work together
