Right now it seems the FX8350s are outperforming the i5s which cost around the same price. Check these guys talk about it:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r-_SGDT-dzw
Anyways good i5's are too expensive for you budget of 400 euros...
The 965 black edition gets beat by the FX6300, check this:

Don't understand what you mean by your not very keen of upgrading the gpu? Do you mean you don't need a gpu? 400 euros just for mobo, cpu and ram?

If you want... dunno which GTX 550 ti brand (i.e. what cooler) you have, so can't tell you what gains you gonna get. But usually you aren't gonna get much more performance than 10-20% more out of it.
But ye, you aren't really gonna kill your card from OCing if you do it right, and since you are gonna replace is soon with a new card anyways, you might as well... (i guess the card is quite old - old enough that the warranty has only a few months left, so resale on ebay is out of the option).
