I'd save your money and upgrade your CPU later down the line.

$100 isnt really enough to add much to this system in all honesty. if you wanted a serious upgrade you are looking at replacing the CPU, RAM, GPU, and MOBO at once which will likely run you closer to $1000 for a coherent high quality upgrade. switching from your Phenom II to something like an I74970k will net you 3-4x performance boost for example.

alex_248,

Save up a little bit more til you have $200.00 and max out your memory.
or
Get a new aftermarket heat sink for your processor.

Alex, both of those would provide OP with a minimal performance increase. At that price he may as well buy a new CPU and motherboard.
EDIT: I misread the op and thought he had an R9 380. A 480 would be a worthy upgrade.

The best thing you can do is get a 480 4Gb and turn that into a decent 1080p gaming rig. But that would cost ya 199$

Don't bother, Bulldozer is ancient. Get a 480 and then hold off for Kaby Lake and Zen.
