it isnt so bad, my PC died a month ago, and i dont have cash to fix it, nor would i fix it specs:
AMD Sempron 3100+
Asus Extreme AX550 Series
K9Neo v3
1GB RAM(@195MHz cuz of clocked CPU-max is 200MHz without clock anyway)
80GB HDD
crappy PSU

Though with your build, you should just change mobo and CPU, go with 4790k or some FX if your budget is quite limited, also maybe go with R9 280X ? Or the new GTX 970 that has 3.5GB VRAM?
Idk whats your budget so i cant really say what you should get

would prob sit nice with a maximus gene and 2500k would be ideal just wondering if anyone has seen any offers/discounts etc

since its like $200-$230 CPU, id go with FX version, cuz in my opinion AMD in that price range is better, so im guessing you want a GPU for $300 max?
 
Id just get a used CPU for your board and live with no overclocking till funds allow a new board and decent cooler and then spend every penny you can on a GPU.

If you can only afford used parts then sadly youll just have to shop around dude because we dont allow talk of possible sales in the normal open area of the forums.

Edit:
