I would replace your gpu. AMD are good for low end, but once you hit upper mid range Nvidia is better. Also replace your CPU with an i5 for overall better performance, better temps, and better energy consumption.

I upgrade my PC ever other year, but mainly just gpu and clearing my HDD. Um I would say expect around a 5 FPS increase, and rendering will be better for games like minecraft, etc.

the thing is the fx 6300 is new and im planning on replacing the motherboard so i can overclock it to 4.5 ghz cause mine wont even let me go past 3.7 without crashing

so would OC + new mobo push me to 15% increase in preformance? or at least noticble gains?

I'm in almost the exact same situation! And not sure what to do myself:

These are my specs:: FX6300 @ 4.3GHZ
AsRock 970 extreme4
Ripjaw 8gb 1600mhz
Arctic Cooler 13 CO (has kept my temps low and will setup a server soonish and maybe go liquid)
Sapphire R9 290 tri-x OC 4GB
EVGA SuperNOVA G2 750w
Other bits win7 64bit etc

My Motherboard is only 4+1 phase power and so I'm looking to upgrade to a sabertooth 990FX Rev 2.0 to make the whole system more stable.

I'm seriously considering an i5 4690K and a Sabertooth Z97 Mark 2 but thats around $570 + I would need a new cooler..... OR just buy the sabertooth and put the rest into an SSD + full atx case.

I've hunted reviews and benchmarks of the i5 and it seems to out perform quite a lot, but in real world gaming I'm not sure I'll see that much of an improvement. Especially since with the FX6300 on the sabertooth I'm confident I could up to 4.5+GHZ making the difference even more minimal.

Also as I understand (and may be wrong) is that slowly more games are beginning to be multi-core reliant? Making the 6core AMD slightly more suited?>
