i looked at the same processor with the bundle for the mobo as well - [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

the mobo and cpu are just up in the air right now, but i do like that bundle.

One of those PSU's would be a solid investment and even be capable of running 2 way SLI/XFire for a lot of GPU's.

For GPU, An RX 580 or a 6GB GTX 1060 would be a good upgrade, but they're hard to find at reasonable prices right now. They're $300 for the 1060 and $400+ for the 580, whereas they should both be $200-250. You could get a GTX 1070 for $450-500 but those are also over priced, they should be $380/400 range, and you can even get a GTX 1080 for less than some GTX 1070's so you'd be better off just getting a GTX 1080. Though, with any of these GPUs, you'd really be wanting to upgrade to at least a nice 1440p monitor.

On the other end, you could just get a GTX 1050Ti which is still a reasonable upgrade over your R9 270(x) (assuming that's the GPU you have) and you could probably still use your current PSU with the 1050Ti, though I wouldn't.

just saw the comment ha! i looked up the gtx 1050 1060 and 1080 heres what i found for the 1060 and 1080

Like I said, 1050Ti would be a reasonable upgrade from your R9 270(x), but the 1050Ti is still more of an entry level GPU these days. I wouldn't be getting that 1050Ti you linked, as it seems to start at $165 there. You should be paying $140-150 for a 1050Ti.

Nope. Not a very good unit at all. If you're upgrading, you might as well get a good quality unit.

All no. 7350k is stupid. B250M Pro-VD is not a very good motherboard choice. $300 for CPU and Mobo could easily get you an R5 1600 and a nice B350 board.

CPU: [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] ($197.88 @ OutletPC)
Motherboard: [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] ($89.99 @ Amazon)
Total: $287.87

3 times as many cores and threads, for $10 less. No brainer. Either way, with the new CPU and Mobo, you'll need new RAM.

Like I said, $300 for a 1060 is too much. They should be closer to $250. A 6GB 1060 or an RX 580 is really your best bet IMO, but you'd want to wait a little bit until they become more available at reasonable prices. Otherwise, get a 1050Ti or a 1080. Here's a couple of 1080's;

You're also gonna need to get DDR4 RAM when you buy a new CPU.
