I'm upgrading my pc, but not sure what parts to buy to get the best performance!

I put a lot of time into pc games and as of recent I'm not able to play at a comfortable frame rate on most new games, never mind being able to stream etc. I need some recommendations for new parts or if I should build a new pc?
My current rig I've had for over a year and is as follows.

GeForce GTX 760
AMD Fx(tm)-6300 Six-Core Processor
8.00 GB of RAM
ASUS M5A97 LE R2.0

3 fans, default heat sync.

Any idea's on how to improve would be great.

Budget and location? What Psu do you have?

I'd get an h170 mobo, i5 6500, and gtx 1070 (when it comes out June 10th)

But that all costs about $650

My budget is enough for a high end but don't want to overspend anything i don't necessarily need, and uk. but I'm not looking for a 1070 as I feel a 970/980 will do fine. That's basically buying a new pc right? So you don't see it fees able to upgrade current parts? Psu is 850v but if you're asking the model I'm actually not sure

An fx 8350 with an aftermarket cooler wouldnt be the worst investment however, you may be able to get away with a corsair h75 on an fx 6300 overclocked to around 4.3ghz. A nice gpu upgrade would be to an evga gtx 960 sc with 4gb of vram for around £165 or an evga gtx 970 FTW for around £290

970,aftermarket cooler ,4.2/4.3ghz overclock which you'll do with the Pallas.
50-60fps ultra on just about any AAA title out there.

If you want some benches etc doing I'm running the same setup (albeit with 16gb ram) just ask.

I would just swap out the graphics card beacuse its starting to get a old, your CPU is fine and even with the stock cooler you can get a little more performance out of it if you overclock. As for new GPU i would get the 390x. I have a friend with that same exact configuration and he gets confortable frame rates on almost everything, really... There is no need to overkill. Also, I wouldn't waste money on an aftermarket cooler for a gpu that will become totally outdated very soon, but thats just me. Besides, it definitely does depend on your budget too.
