What should I upgrade next, CPU or Video card

Solution
I would rather get the Sapphire one than the MSI one. And yes, they are totally worth the upgrade, those cards are about the best price/performance ratio on the market right now, and they deliver a ton of performances. It is about as good as a GTX 760, or just a slight, slight bit behind, on some games, and it is quite a lot cheaper.

That CPU is just fine, go with a GPU upgrade, if you're looking for good budget performance the 7950 is a good choice, if you have a few bucks to spend the new nVidia solutions are great as well, and if you have time to save up a few more bucks, you can wait a couple more months for the new AMD offerings.
