Hello everyone,

I don't typically use forums but Tom's hardware was a great resource for when I built my computer.

Currently I'm looking to upgrade parts; I've recently bought my external peripherals and now I'm going back into upgrading internally.

Specs:

Motherboard - Asus M5A97 R2.0
CPU - AMD Phenom 965 Black Edition X4 (3.4ghz)
Memory - 8gbs of Corsair XMS3
CPU Cooler - Corsiar H60 74.4
Storage - Kingston 120gb SSD & Seagate Barracude 1TB 7200RPM
Video Card - MSI R7850 Twin Frozr 2GBD5
Case - Corsair 330R ATX Mid Tower
PowerSupply - Corsair CX600M
Optical Drive - Some thing I bought...but I don't even use CDs anymore to be honest.
OS - Windows 8.1


I'm looking to upgrade my video card soon and same for my CPU and motherboard.
I will of course take recommendations but I do have a budget: 0 - $200 (I guess its not much) And I don't want something on the high end, I want to be future proof..not future broke lol
But I feel like my CPU and video card are falling behind.

Any recommendations are welcome and any advice is surely needed.

Thank you :)
