I already have Keyboard, Monitor, headset and mouse. I just need a PC. I have $600 to spend and could use some advice on what to buy for best performance. My current setup honestly runs like crap compared to my friends. I mostly just play H1Z1, PUBG, and League of Legends.

My current setup
GPU: Zotac GTX760 2gb
CPU: FX-8320E
16gb Ram (not sure what brand)
Evga 600watt power supply
1tb Hard drive
MOBO: Gigabyte GA-78LMT-USB3

What monitor(s) are you using?
What case do you have?

Your best bet IMO is to buy a used Haswell i5/i7 with motherboard, so you can re-use that 16GB RAM, then buy a used GTX 970 or GTX 980 to replace the GTX 760. Sell your FX-8320E, motherboard and GTX 760, and use that money towards a nice SSD.

Yeah this is a solid plan, scour ebay for some decent cpu/mobo combo deals.
Since you're playing pubg I'd lean more i7/980 route.

Yeah for PUB-G I would definitely buy a New GPU but I would let the market calm down and buy a 1060 there pretty cheap normally I got mine for 250$ and it's amazing
