The 6100 is one of the worse choices you could make for gaming.

I wouldn't put anything over a 7850 with it.

Yeah, I got mine a while back before I had any idea what I was doing, and went for a 7870 XT as it was just in the limits of my stretched price range, but got upgraded to a 7950.
What CPU would you recommend around the same price?

An FX6300 or even better FX6350 would give you a modest boost. But I think if you overclock your 6100 it will still be ok until you can do a more significant upgrade.
