For games of 2016 ?. I will upgrade my CPU but later after Ryzen releases and I see its prices because I'm not thinking on spending that much money on a CPU, or maybe I upgrade to a fx 6300, Fx 8320 or i3 6100 ? Which one should be the best option?
- I already have the PC listed ^ expect The GPU. I just wanna have a Gaming PC.
- I also know that if I upgrade the CPU I need to Upgrade the MOBO.

None of AMD's CPUs that are out right now are worth buying. FX-6300 would be a different socket and require you to buy an older AM3+ motherboard. The i3 6100 is a better gaming CPU than any FX, draws less power, is less expensive than the FX 8 cores and is on a socket that will receive at least 2 more generations of CPUs. It's a no-brainer in that budget. Ryzen may affect things higher up the food chain, but don't expect there to be any better choice in that price range than the i3 6100 in the next 6-8 months, possibly longer.

^^I second Ecky for sure, the AM3+ line is like, dead. I also recommend you go for the i3-6100 CPU and since you're planning on upgrading I would recommend getting a cheaper motherboard like, for example a B150 or an H110. Hope this helps!
