Yeah. I'd recommend, if budget allows, going towards an Intel core system:

Core I5-6600K
Z170 based motherboard
16GB DDR4 RAM

I would say that the weakest part of your PC is the CPU, but I think you're kind of in that grey zone where upgrading to a better AMD processor isn't going to be enough for the money, and upgrading the entire core of your system (CPU/Motherborad/RAM) is probably going to cost too much money (you didn't give a budget).

i dont really have a budget as im planning on just saving up if i need to replace massive amounts of parts.so what would you suggest? the current cpu upgrade i can do would probably be the fx 8350, but if its worth just replacing my motherboard and getting an intel cpu ill just do that
