undeceided on upgrade

[mpere]

Hello everyone it has been awhile since I posted anything. Well it has come to a point where I think I want to upgrade my system. However, I want to do it in a cost effective manner. My present system is as follows:

CPU: AMD FX 8350
MB: Asus Sabertooth 990 FX R2.0
VGC: Sapphire/Radeon HD 7850
RAM: G.Skill Ripjaw 8GB
PS: Corsair HX 750W
SSD: 840 EVO 250GB
HDD: WD Black HDD 1TB
OD: Plextor PX-850SA
CASE: Corsair-600T

What I'm trying to determine is what parts could be upgraded cost effectively within $500 to $600, or do I need to upgrade at all. Pls. any advise on this matter is appreciated.

What are you looking for? If you want more graphical performance, upgrading the gpu would be option.
If you happy with the performance of your pc, you don't need to upgrade it.

I'm really just trying to improve my system for at least the next 2 years. a more powerful cpu will be nice. However, with all the games coming to play and newer MB on the market, I was wondering weather It just smart to improve the system somewhat. I am satisfied with my system performance. But, I am thinking of the future.

you could go with a new skylake setup. You would be able to probably sell your cpu and mb on craigslist for about $200 (I did) and invest that as well on top of your $5/600 budget. I would look into the i5 skylake (or i7 if you wanna go big) the new mb that you like. And you can find an evga gtx 970 ftw refurbished with a 1 yr warranty on evga's site for $260. That would all lead to higher performance and within your budget.
