My advice is double your RAM, leave your CPU alone and buy a large, good quality power supply for your r9 390. When you have more money then look for a CPU+MB upgrade. IMO 100hz+ monitors are like 4K TVs, the difference in quality is imperceptible to the human eye, however each to his own...
 


dont double your ram right now. 8 gigs is more then enough for almost everything. changing to 16 gigs will give im absolutely no more performance.

Definitely upgrade to a 750 watt PSU, I find Corsair to be good but there are a number of good PSUs around. Check the Toms guide on PSUs. Still think you should get more RAM, it's so cheap, you might only use 50% of the new RAM but its the cheapest way to upgrade PC performance and you can use it when you upgrade your CPU/MB.
 


that should run it fine. if you dont have much of a overclock on it. however it cant hurt to get a bit of a upgrade for it. psu's should last you many builds from now
 


leave it 8 gigs is enough for now eventually when you upgrade the mobo+cpu you can get new ram
