do you have an issue with your system? play games or do other stuff? does your PC offer you the sufficient experience you expect?
Well my framerate when i set the games to ultra is low and i want to play at highest settings possible. The games i want to play on ultra right now is Borderlands the pre sequel, Overwatch, and Bioshock Infinite.
Bioshock Infinite Stutters A LOT, Overwatch is just the framerate, and in Borderlands the pre sequel whenever i kill a ice kraggon they explode and that lags my game.

Well, there's not much of an upgrade path for your CPU (AMD). You could upgrade to a FX 8350 at best and it would not make a lot of difference. But you could upgrade your GPU if you have a decent PSU. What's your PSU make and model?

We need to know its brand and model to know how well it can handle a new upgrade. Wattage is only one dimension in specs and there are other factors to consider about PSus. Like, if we are talking about adding a new GPU to the system, we must make sure our PSU can deliver enough power from +12v rails for example

Your GTX 650 lags well behind a GTX 980 in performance, which isn't even the top-line GPU anymore (http://www.anandtech.com/bench/product/1716?vs=1714 shows GTX 980 vs. GTX 1080).
Definitely look into getting a new GPU. However, even if your PSU can handle a GTX 980/980Ti, or even a GTX 1080, you may not need one. If your monitor, for example, has a resolution that tops out at 1080p (1920x1080), then even the 980 will be overkill. Something in the GTX 950/960/970 range would be ideal (http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/best-gpus,4380.html), or even an AMD equivalent (R9 380/380X, for example).
