If you have to get AMD, I would go with something like the FX 6300

AMD Athlon II X4 630 Processor 2.80 GHz

If you upgrade the motherboard, then you will need to renew the Windows license.

Your PC is using Am3 Socket, so you cant upgrade to a FX CPU, so at this point your only options is To get a Motherboard + CPu, it can be either AMD or intel, but if your intending to use it as a gaming Machine i highly Suggest getting an i5 4460 + h97 board and 8gb of DDr3 ram, for the OS you can use Windows 10 till it expires in october if you are short on money for windows 8.1 right now.

No, an FX CPU is not compatible on a socket AM3 board. An AM3+ socket motherboard is needed.
