pop in a ssd.
you really dont need an upgrade.

if you want to upgrade either wait for 3rd gen ryzen or 10gen intel they will have 7nm and 10nm chips respectively and will launch by the end of this year
otherwise get
get ryzen3 1200 or 1300x +b450+ssd and dual channel ram 2x4gb or 2x8gb you can use your GPU, PSU,HDD this should be within your budget, and dont get an APU as you already have a GPU no point spending extra money

i strongly suggest you wait.

Should i wait then? for the New Ryzen CPU? but i have an intel Motherboard..

It's not worth upgrading just one component. Everything you have is pretty balanced in performance, so any upgrade will overpower the rest, so you won't get your money's worth out of the upgrade.
The best thing would be an SSD, bring much needed speed into the pc use, if only minor gains like time saved on loading maps etc in games. It's the difference in a full boot taking 20 seconds instead of avg. 2 minutes, game maps loading in 5 seconds vrs 60 etc.

thats why i said you really dont need an upgrade you got a nice build, just a SSD if you dont have it already. your system is 2-2.5years old at most

for upgrade
you gonna need a whole new system(CPU+motherboard+dual channel ram) it would be within $200-300 if you use your GPU and PSU ad for that i sugget you wait till end of this year for upcoming CPUs.

you can put a 7th gen i5 in it but that just not worth it.

You could upgrade:

• CPU -> i5 7500
  https://www.amazon.com/Intel-Core-i...e=UTF8&qid=1549187876&sr=8-3&keywords=i5+7600
  RAM -> 16GB
  https://www.amazon.com/Team-PC4-192...6&sr=8-2&keywords=team+elite+plus+8gb+2400mhz
  SSD
  https://www.amazon.com/Crucial-MX50...549188091&sr=8-1&keywords=Crucial+MX500+250GB
  GPU -> GTX 1060
  https://www.amazon.com/Gigabyte-GeF...=UTF8&qid=1549188135&sr=1-5&keywords=gtx+1060

Probably should start with SSD and RAM.

Agree about SSD. Is this pc just used for gaming and is it games that you want it to run better? If yes then monitor your cpu, gpu & RAM usage in the games you play. If for example it’s mostly cpu maxing out you would upgrade this for the best improvement.

If trying to play modern AAA games I expect cpu is your issue. Everything else just about meets the minimum recommended in most AAA games but your cpu is well below the minimum recommended. Problem is even an i5 7400 or similar quad core/threads is the bare minimum for AAA gaming, ideally you want more than 4 threads which on your motherboard only gives you the compatible i7’s which will blow your budget.

If you are willing to gamble, and aren't pushed for immediate results, the i7-7700 can be had for $200-$300 on ebay. That'll put a stop to any kind of cpu backlog due to thread ability in games like gta5 or heavy online mmorpgs like WoW.
