Upgrade help.

I was wanting some help on picking some new upgrades for my current computer build.
My build is really old, so I'm going to be upgrading most everything.
I'm also doing sort of a budget build, but I want to be able to play games at a comfortable frame rate.
I'm kind of looking for a $600 - $650 price range for all parts?

I'm still trying to decide on a case that'll give me better cooling, and fit all the upgrades. Thanks in advance!
 
Good suggestion. I didn't want anything that's too flashy, so I think that case would be perfect.

To be honest I think my PSU might be fine for now! It's lasted me a long time.
If I was to maybe Crossfire, or SLI cards I might look into upgrading though!

I think my biggest concerns now are just the Motherboard, and CPU.
I think I might be looking into upgrading my GPU again though.
I feel like my R9 270X is good, but not enough to handle newer games comfortably.
