Sadly you can't upgrade anything other than your GPU really? You could add in more ram.

You can't change processor as they are two different sockets.

You could put in a GTX750ti/GTX960, but your CPU may bottleneck those cards a little unless you OC the CPU.

What mobo and ram model do you have?

Something like this perhaps? It would get you on a more modern platform.

Umm,i got legit seller I5-4430 and H81,Plus a GTX 750 Ti 2GB D5 for 161,5 all seconds,i don't need a brand new thing,just suggest me second hand parts,

Look for gen 1 ryzen, then, if you want to look at used. At least there, you have a legit upgrade path. Buying into a dead platform, is kinda a waste of money.

your seriosly going 2nd hand parts over new?

that build suggested is in your budget and would likely last longer then any 2nd hand parts

With 3rd gen Ryzen being out, you might be able to score a good 1st, or 2nd gen, Ryzen deal, on the used market. It really depends on the used market conditions, for your area. New, that is about as cheap as you can get.
