I recently upgraded my gpu and started dabbling in overclocking but feel like my system isn't performing as it should. I am somewhat new to tinkering with computers and am not sure what is holding me back the most so thought the TH community could direct me as to what i need to upgrade next to gain the biggest increase in performance. My system is as follows.

AMD fx-6100 @ 4.4 Ghz
2 GB GeForce GTX 770
8 GB A-Data ddr3 (4x2)
Gigabyte GA-78LMT-USB3
Windows 8.1

I was planning to upgrade the memory next but I am wondering if I wouldnt be better off with a better processor instead.

Nah your ram is fine unless you want to do professional rendering. I would upgrade your processor get a 8350.
Your motherboard supports it and it will give you a great performance boost. The 8350 is also the best performing chip in the amd area when it comes to overclocking.

Maybe slightly but not much. But the 8350 will still give a big performance boost in games that either use singe or multiple cores. Since it has more cores. And each core has a higher clock rate
