CPU Upgrade help

[JustApcNoob]

MOBO- MSI 760GM-P34(FX) (MS-7641)
CPU- AMD FX 4300
GPU- Gigabyte GTX980 Windforce
8 Gigs of DDR3 Ram
I know that im bottlenecking, but i got the gtx980 for $100 from a friend.
I really want to play battlefield 1 on pc when it comes out, i think my cpu wont be able to handle it. I was looking at other cpu's and my cpu socket is an AM3+ 95W
Would i be able to get any other cpu as long as it is the same socket? If so, would it be worth it to buy an AMD FX-8370E? Would that still bottleneck? Would it run bf1?
Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

Best cpu your gonna be able to use is the Amd FX-8370E(95w). It wont bottleneck your 980 an itll perfectly fine in Battlefield.

Would the FX-8370 work with bf1 and not bottleneck? I have a 550w psu so it seems if i got the 9370 i would have to upgrade and also buy a cpu cooler, the 8370 comes with a cooler for the same price. Also would my mobo even be compatible with the 9370 as it needs like 220w?

Also will i need 16 gigs of ram to run bf1?

Sorry bout my first post, i Accidentally hit the 9 instead of 8. Its since been fixed. But go with the 8370e(95w) its perfectly capable of running bf1 smoothly an the gpu is as well. And 8 gigs is perfectly fine for bf1 as well. Along with most games.
550 w is fine for that cpu an gpu i mentioned.

Inadvisable to run one of the 125W TDP chips on that board (regular 8320/50/70); one of the 95W E-series would work well though.
