Since Christmas is coming up, I want to know what to upgrade?

My Current PC specs are:
Nvidia GTX 760
AMD FX 6300

I don't really care that much on running games at ultra, because i perfer performance over quality. I'd rather have 100fps with bad quality than 50fps with high quality. Some people will say that my specs can run games @ 60fps on low graphics but even on Borderlands 2 on low settings I run at 40-50 fps? I Mainly play Borderlands 2, (Borderlands The-Pre Sequel soon), Minecraft, APB Reloaded, Call of Duty: Blackops 2, (CoD: Advanced Warfare when it comes out)

I was doing some research on benchmarks with the games I play and the same specs, and on alot of games people are getting better performance? Someone on Ultra Settings on Borderlands 2 Was getting 40-50 FPS. On low settings I get 40-50fps. Could my CPU be bottlenecking my GPU, or even be a faulty CPU?

I am not very good at explaining things, so if anything was un-clear let me know and I can try to re-state my problem. Thanks :)

Thanks for the Quick reply! For gaming only, What would be better? i5 or i7? For future proofing purposes, would an i7 be better? I'd like the CPU to last me 3-5 years.

Awesome. I'm not going to OC, especially because I am not that smart when it comes to computers, so do I need to get a CPU cooler? Or does it come with one?

Sorry to bother you one more time, but whats the differance between Z87 and Z97? I'm on a 130$ budget for the mobo and I found a high-rated Z87 MSI mobo? (MSI Z87 G45-Gaming)
