Upgrading FX-6100: FX 8350 or Intel I5 4590

[Slade13]

Okay, this is my first thread in here, so before anything, thank you all for your answers.
Here's the deal, I'm looking for an upgrade on my PC, which at the time consists of:
CPU: FX 6100
Motherboard: Gigabyte 970A-UD3P
GPU: GTX 760
RAM: 8GB Kingston Hyper X Fury 1866MHz
PSU: NZXT HALE82 700W 80 Plus Bronze
HDD: W.D Caviar Black 2TB
Cooling: Deepcool Neptwin V2
Currently, I can go two ways: First one is selling my FX 6100 and getting the 8350 for around 133USD. The other way would mean selling my FX 6100 and motherboard and getting an I5 4590 + ASUS Z97-C for 177USD.
To be honest, I don't know what to do since I know both of these processors will be a huge upgrade to my crappy 6100. I'd love some sincere advice on whether it would be worth spending more money (and time selling my mobo) on going the Intel way or just keeping what I have, especially considering all the rumors about getting more core-dependant than before
So... well, just thanks to everyone!

If you need to upgrade, go i5. Just pick a K version for your Z97 MB. they easily overclock 500-1000MHz.

I actually had a fx 6100 before I upgraded to my i5 4590 on an asrock anniversary h97 board and the difference is definitely noticeable in games. I would recommend the i5

FX-6100 to a FX 8350.... Not much of a upgrade at all no noticeable difference in gaming.

I5 6400,6500,6600... 10+ fps or more and bumping up to at least High settings in every titles out plus with the right Motherboard you can still overclock.

I5 K series.. Pointless to buy if you have a board to will allow overclocking of a Non K, Only worth it for extreme gaming or multiple GPU's.

Thanks everyone for your suggestions! Thing is, I'm getting especifically those parts cause I'm getting them way cheaper than they are here (Argentina), so there really isn't much more room to swap pieces since it would go off my budget, so I was kinda asking about those 2 in particular.
Thanks again!

I forgot; A last option would be getting rid off my 760 ASAP and get a Gigabyte 970 Extreme Gaming but I'd have to keep my 6100 for a while.

I wouldn't waste your money on a 970, look at a RX 480 they overclock high and bite at the heals of a 1070 GTX. Hell of a card for $199 to $250.
