Hey guys I am new to this site and I have a couple of questions about an upgrade.

I had this computer for about 3 years now and I am getting ready for an upgrade.
Here is my computer specs right now:

AMD FX(tm)-4170 Quad-Core Processor 4.2 GHz
8 GB
AMD Radeon HD 6800 Series
M5A97 LE R2.0 Motherboard.
500W Power Supply

I am not a professional at computers but I was looking into another graphics card that I might want to get and I saw the GTX 960. The biggest question for i have is should I get another processor or the one i have now is fine.
I want my computer to be able to run games like GTA 5, H1Z1, And Arma 3 at decent settings with higher fps.

Right now the fps I get for the games are.

H1Z1: 45-75 fps All low settings in open areas and 25-35 All low settings in the towns/cities.
Arma 3: 5-30 fps All low settings everywhere
Gta 5: 30-60 fps All low settings everywhere.
Minecraft: 60-120 fps medium settings everywhere
CSGO: 60-150 fps All low settings everywhere

Let me know if I need to explain anything else.

My Budget is 450 Im just trying to upgrade the pc.
And my power supply is
rs 500 pcar i3
 
That power supply is poor quality and only has a single 6-pin connector so I would get this GPU without risking it:

As for the CPU and mobo, these are solid and powerful:

Please, as soon as possible, REPLACE YOUR POWER SUPPLY. I recommend saving and upgrading everything all together but you can upgrade CPU, mobo, and GPU first.

Do you have any recommendations for a good power supply?
