Aren't GPU and Ram too expensive right now ? like 2x or even triple the original price
But since your FX 8300 is very outdated , you might consider getting a Ryzen APU instead
According to benchmark , Ryzen R5 2400G iGPU is 941% faster than your current GPU

Ryzen APU R5 2400G is also 50% faster than your current FX 8300 in multithread bench and up to 80% faster than FX 8300 in single thread bench
Dolphin is a dual core (triple core in some cases) . So R5 2400G is going to be way faster than your current CPU , its single thread performance is on par with Haswell i7 4770k
https://www.cpubenchmark.net/compare/AMD-Ryzen-5-2400G-vs-AMD-FX-8300-Eight-Core-vs-Intel-Core-i7-4770K/3183vs1825vs1919 tells me R5 2400G's multithreaded performance is 1.2 times as fast as FX-8300's and its single thread performance is 1.38 times as fast as FX-8300's.
According to http://gpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/AMD-RX-Vega-11-Ryzen-iGPU-vs-AMD-RX-560/m401440vs3926, RX 560 seems to be 54% faster than R5 2400G's GPU.
R5 2400G offers good value, but I'm not sure if I want to migrate to it because R5 2400G requires an AM4 motherboard and DDR4 RAM modules.
I already have DDR3 32GB RAM.
According to https://www.reddit.com/r/Amd/comments/6h19k4/raven_ridge_support_hdmi_20_hdcp_22_hdr_and_ecc/diuqtqa/, Raven Ridge CPUs including R5 2400G support ECC DDR4 RAMs although motherboards have to support it, too.
