Hey, looking at some videos my GPU is doing a lot worse than the others (also I'm running only Steam, which doesn't eat too many resources)...and also my CPU is overclocked to 4.0GHz...is it bottlenecking? And what is the best actual CPU (CPU, not APU) for FM2?

Only CPU that would be better would be 750k/760k since they can overclock easily. You might still get some bottleneck, but it would be less of one with an overclocked chip.

So, what should I do? Save for a few years to get a AM3+ mobo and a CPU or get a 760k?

In a few years, AM3+ will be dead.

Will there be a massive increasement in the performance if I get an Athlon II X4 760k?

Not without a significant overclock. You are best just saving your money.
