We're these specs the right decision?

So I have a gaming computer which is:
8 gig ram DDR3
Gtx 750 1gb
Amd apu a6 6400k
(Should be enough details)

I decided to get upgrades. I was going to buy a new graphics card. But then I realized that my CPU was shit so I was looking for a good one. I had an amd Mobo so I research the best one which was the fx 8350. Then I noticed that the intel processors were a lot stronger than the amd cpu's. So I got an intel mobo and a intel CPU. I then realized that the motherboard I got only supported DDR4 ram. I had DDR3 ram in my pc. So I had to order DDR4 ram.

A two part upgrade basically turned into a new build because the only thing I will move to my new pc is the harddrive and my external harddrive.

Now I am wondering if me buying these specs were the right decision for a 400-600 budget.

New specs:
* 8 gig ram fury hyper x DDR4 ram
* Intel i5 6500
* MSI gaming intel skylake b150 DDR4 lga 1151 MOBO
* EVGA gtx 1050 ti 4gb SC GDDR5

( I also got thermal paste, sata cables with the new 1tb harddrive I bought, and a anti static shock band for when I build my pc.)

Do you think I made the right decisions? (I was on a 400-600 build)

Yes, you made the right decision, the build is well balanced and your old power supply should be good enough for it.

Okay, that made me feel better. Thank you. And yes I have a old dell pc in my garage. I am going to put my old specs into that for a HTPC.

Sure that is a great upgrade. The only thing I would change is 16GB's instead of just 8GB's. Net gain should be over 4 times your old system.
