My build
cpu- fx 4130 - water cooled with corsair h60
gpu- gigabyte windforce r9 270x
ram- corsair vengeance ddr3 1600
psu- raidmax rx-730ss
mother board- gigabyte 990fx aud 3
500 gb toshiba 7200 rpm hard drive
240 gb kingston ssd

My question is if i upgraded to a fx-8320 would there be a significant upgrade for gaming
 
Solution
In most games probably not much of a difference. In cpu intensive games they bf4 the 8320 will help quite a bit because i guarantee the fx4130 is bottlenecking your 270x in bf4, my gtx 760 is bottlenecked slightly by my fx6350 and that's with vishera architecture you have the old bulldover architecture in the 4130 which is starting to show its age in newer games.

most cases it will be 2-5 fps increase
some cases it will run much better than before (cpu intensive games)
