A10 6800k is bottlenecking my HD 7950 gpu. Are there any worthwhile upgrades for this socket?

Title says it all. I plan on overclocking as far as my Corsair h75 will take me.

Depending on your budget you really should consider going Intel, much better future upgrade path / AMD is not competing on very high-end CPUs anymore.

If you have 300$ to burn:
