Gpu or cpu platform upgrade?

[dragonfirex9]

Now, i realise that in retrospec i kinda shot myself in the foot by choosing the route i did. I built the machine in 2015, so ryzen wasnt even a dream, so please not too much hate :v

So i want to upgrade either my CPU,Mobo, and ram due to FM2+ being dead, or my gpu. Can i get some advice on cpu setups? I have a budget of 400 to 500 dollars. The gpu im looking at is the gtx 1060 but i am more than willing to take reccomendations. Also i will need a cooler if i go with AM4 socket.
Specs:

CPU: A10 7700k
Mobo: gigabyte fm2a68h-h
Ram: 2 x 4gb ddr3 1600mhz
GPU: RX 460 2gb OC @ 1300mhz
PSU: 550w
Storage: 2tb sshd, 250gb ssd


Sorry if i did anything wrong, this is my first forum post. 😛
Also my currency is CAD.

New platform is needed Ryzen would be a good choice.

Id say go AM4 for future upgradeability, with that you'd need a mobo and ram.

What PSU do you have?

Cheers

The stock AMD Wraith cooler is sufficient enough for a decent overclock, also welcome to the forum.
