Okay, this is my pc.
[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
I am running 3 monitors from it so gaming isn't amazing, i can run medium/high graphics with a smooth FPS.
I recently bought Arma 3 and even with 1 monitor I'm only hitting around 30 FPS.
I know for some thats a easy amount but i'd prefer more.
What can i upgrade for under 100?
I have added ram, so instead of 8gb its now 16gb.
Any advice is appreciated, thanks!

If all your doing is gaming then stick with 8GB no need to get 16. You could always upgrade your [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] or you could get an intel CPU but that would cost you more and you would have to change your motherboard.

Yeah, the ram was free as my parents got a new pc, so i got the RAM out of the old one instead of it going to waste.
And i think i'd go for the AMD cpu option, thanks!

The 6300 is a great budget CPU and performs well considering the price. I would not upgrade the 8320 as you will not see the benefits.

Id get [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] while its on sale

The SSD will make no difference to the FPS your getting, it will make your computer load faster and games like BF4, the maps will load faster.

An upgrade from the 6300 to 8320 is stupid in my opinion. You will see next to 0 difference in general or gaming use. Games currently dont use all the cores available so upgrading from 6 to 8 just is not worth the money

A lot of people on here use the 6300 and are very happy with its performance.

As Editiionz said, the 6300 is a great little chip. I love mine because it is cheap and powerful. I think I love mine more because I got a good overclocker too.
