[SOLVED] New upgrade opinions

[jcozart7]

My current specs are

Cool master hyper 212 evo
Amd FX 4130
Gigabyte 78mlt-usb r2
10gb of ddr3
Gtx 1060 6gb

I’m looking to upgrade to an intel processor but can decide to get the I5 8400 or one of th i3s. I have a budget of $500-$600. My monitor quit so I’m currently using my tv.

Any new info would be great.
