If you're able to spend money I'd honestly suggest replacing motherboard and RAM and getting into a new platform. You basically had one of the fastest processors for that socket, which is relatively dated at this point. If you're not looking to do a whole platform upgrade I'd just look into an FX 8320 off Ebay used to save yourself some money and look into a platform upgrade in the future.

The higher end models for that socket are basically identical to yours just with an extra 2 cores and varying clock speeds as the 8320/8350/8370.

Edit: @beers you beat me to it. :p

Side note, have you actually tried the CPU with the missing pin? Sometimes they're just ground pins and will still work. Worth a shot at the very least.

What case do you have? Do you prefer an ATX or microATX motherboard?

Something like a Ryzen 1600 would be a decent play.

I have Corsair Carbide Series Black 300R Mid-Tower Computer Case

Do you prefer an ATX or microATX motherboard?
I don't know what is a difference between them. Depends on Case?

ATX for sure.. give you 3 extra slots.. and much more capability for expanding.

ATX cases can accommodate both sizes...mATX case cant house an ATX board...

For now if you were to get new core components.. you can then save for whatever graphics board you want.. the 760, while aging now can still carry you by for a bit.

Given the budget you mentioned above an AMD based system is most likely best solution. We'll see if @beers or @Darren can give input. as they know AMD gear more than I would.
