The 8320 should provide a noticeable boost in overall system performance but not a huge jump in gaming.

If you are looking for gaming performance, the 7790 is where you should invest your money as long as you have a decent power supply.

Depending on your motherboard and case, you could always purchase a decent CPU cooler (CM 212 Evo around $30) and overclock your current CPU. 6100's should be able to reach 4.4 - 4.6Ghz.

You want to upgrade your cpu AND your gpu. I would get a better cpu first, and make sure you have enough money to get a really good video card. At least a HD 7850 or 7870. You definitely need to ditch that FX 6100 as soon as possible.
