A 8320 is a upgrade over a 760K just not a large one, you might gain 15% in the best situations and that is expecting you to be highly overlocked. You should aim a little higher, the lowest I would consider would be a Ryzen 1200 you can find those used for around $65 and that will net you around 20+ FPS.
