I currently have an FX8320 however it feels sluggish and want to upgrade. Any suggestions?

I have less than a £200 budget and would need to re buy ram and motherboard aswell. I dont mind waiting and getting a CPU now and save for the motherboard and ram however dont want the CPU to outdate whilst I save...

What are your recommendations or ideas?

I would wait until Zen comes out in the next few months, and buy yourself a new CPU+MOBO. For now you could overclock your processor, as it helps A LOT with bottlenecking and CPU lag. The only CPU upgrades you can do wouldn't do anything, as the next processors are the same but only come with faster stock clocks.

As others have stated anything that is an upgrade will cost you more then that.

Getting another AM3+ CPU at this piont is a complete waste of money and the gains does not justify the costs.
Thus your only option is Intel or Asus Zen. Which means new MoBo, new CPU, and new RAM.
