To me, if you want to overclock the 8350 then it will be a new mobo. The current GPU is grea. But I have doubts with the PSU. It is a CX Series by Corsair which isn't good quality and made of cheap and low quality materials in China. If you have it and satisfied then stay with it.

A new PSU would be a good choice because of the lower quality caps, but it wont give you any performance increase, its also not harming anything.
I would say pick up intel, 4690k probably. It will give you the longest term upgrade, provide a much better upgrade path later, and would be the best increase now.

Whats your current monitor?
Suggestions:
-a gaming headset
-a heatsink for overclocking (if you don't have one). You mentioned your mobo wasn't good enough though.
-save up and get a better gpu in the future
-save up for your next build
-get a ssd (if you don't have one)
-extra fans

A new motherboard and OC wont increase performance much, the FX lineup has some poor single threaded performance. The biggest reason not to is the AM3+ socket. Its a dead socket now.
A new intel processor and a Z97 board will provide future support, as well as current processors such as the 4690k with higher single core performance, and overall better gaming, and something like the 4790k for multi threaded work.
