get FX 6300
and upgrade your gfx card soon, maybe r9 270x

 

[Rationale]

An overclocked Phenom II 965 would be fine with your 260X. Try to get it up to 3.8Ghz and you shouldn't have a problem with bottlenecks. In fact, a Phenom II 965 at 3.8Ghz would perform about the same as the FX-6300 at stock clocks.

If you replace your video card at some point though, you will likely need an Intel CPU then.
