Here's a similar build to what I have for reference: http://pcpartpicker.com/list/yG8wcc

As budget is quite an issue, I don't plan on building a new rig. I just plan on upgrading the CPU and the GPU. I'm stuck with the Gigabyte AM3+ motherboard and was thinking of going FX 8350 (or something better and compatible with the mobo) and a good GPU that will not be bottlenecked with the CPU I am planning on getting.

Refer to the parts list above so you know what we're working with.

Hoping for your tips guys!

I have the same CPU and upgrading to 8350 won't do much.. You could keeep everything and replace the GPU with the RX480/470 or the GTX1060 and once you save some money you can either upgrade to the upcoming Zen or Intel's Skylake..
