You could:

Upgrade your CPU to FX-8320 8 core (153.61) http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009O7YU56/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B009O7YU56&linkCode=as2&tag=steam08-20&linkId=2UO6E3ARC2YPCANM

Upgrade your GPU to a a R9 280X (279.99) http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00FSC5N66/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B00FSC5N66&linkCode=as2&tag=steam08-20&linkId=DHZ55CG45RDWXNYH

A little over your budget but a definite jump in your gaming experience.

ishmeetrocks :

I would:

Sell your current CPU and GPU...that money should get you an FX 8350.

Then spend your 400.00 budget on a new card, my recommendation: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814125505&cm_re=amd_r9_290-_-14-125-505-_-Product [at 319.99 its a steal...reviews were mixed, but if you have a dud card...just RMA]

ASUS makes a DCU2 card for 390.00 as well:http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814121842&cm_re=amd_r9_290-_-14-121-842-_-Product

Is the 8350 compatible with that motherboard

ishmeetrocks :

Yup if it fits the socket it will mostly always work. The processor he mentioned is an AM3+ and your motherboard has an AM3+ Socket.

Should be good.
