no performance increase in what?

it means whatever your doing is not requiring any extra cpu or ram and the bottleneck stopping you from higher performance is elsewhere, likely graphics card.
Hmm... do you think a Radeon HD7870 bottlenecks a FX-8350? I thought they go pretty well with eachother
well out of the two the graphics card is the weakest link, but its still a good graphics card, its just that if your sticking with amd the 8350 is high end, but the graphics card is a bit more mid range.
Alright, I already thought this might be the problem in my computer, what would be a good upgrade? Crossfire my sapphire Radeon Hd 7870? or buy an upgrade?
well it depends on budget really, you could crossfire the 7870, but personally im not a fan as there are some games etc that do not run well with multiple gpus.
personally i would go for a r9 280x if thats in your budget and you want to stay on the amd side.
R9 280x sounds great, but it might be a little out of my budget range. I've got about 200~250 euros to spend, what would be a good upgrade with that amount of money, which will go well together with the Fx-8350 and wont cause any bottleneck problems?
well for that budget, personally i think i would go for a gtx 760 which is around 230 euros i think, and that will work fine with the fx 8350.
because the next up from that really is the gtx 770 and the r9 280x but as you said they are quite a bit more money, although the graphics card is the part of the system you just need to really get the best you can afford as it will usually be the bottleneck even if not noticeable.
