What to Upgrade?

[harvindgill74]

I have a pretty bad pc, SSC 960 2gb with a fx 4300 and 8gb ram. Im upgrading the cpu first then the graphics card and ram. Im wondering if i should get another 960 and sli them or just get a new card altogether along with what cpu would work best with the build. I dont want too much of an upgrade, just enough to run newer games like battlefield 1 or PUBG on high - ultra settings. Also intel CPUs will be fine too since i will most likely upgrade the motherboard as well.

no need to upgrade motherboard or sell anything else.

Get 1600 and 1060 6gb if you can
1600 can be easily OCed to be 1600X and it comes with a decent stock cooler

You will have to get a new motherboard for Ryzen and new RAM at the very least. You didnt mention your PSU so you would probably have to get a new one of those as well.
