In firestrike 3d mark i get about 60 fps in the first two testes that are gpu dependant but on the physics which is cpu dependant i get 7-8 fps. Iv concluded that my cpu is the heart of the issue. and getting a motherboard with the newer 990fx chipset would slightly improve my performance. I plan to buy an i7 5820k New mobo to support and DDR4 ram. a friend of mine who uses this rig with same gpu gets 150 fps on newer games such as mad max. ultra settings.
Is this the right step?

Have you tried downloading Speccy and seeing how hot your CPU is running? I had a brand new AMD card that was running at about 80 degrees idle which was making every games performance awful and when I replaced it, games where running smooth as butter.
Just another thought, maybe try unparking cores. It might not make a difference but it's worth a try!

First of all link the permalink not the url

The 8350 should not bottleneck the GTX 950 at all, there is clearly something wrong.
I'm running a 6300 @4.1Ghz + GTX 970 and there is no bottleneck.
Monitor the CPU usage when running the tests.
To answer your question of 'is this the right step' no its not.
If you're just gaming spending so much on a CPU is the wrong move. n
Also what resolution are you gaming at?

6300 @ 4.5GHz and running a 970 perfectly fine.
As for your friend, he must have a far better GPU as I get about 70FPS on 1080P max..
OP, don't bother with X99 as you won't benefit from it, if you must upgrade then Haswell or Skylake i5's will be your best bet.

150FPS on Mad Max maxed out is doubtful, I get around 60-70FPS 1080P maxed out with an overclocked Gigabyte G1 gaming 970.
Try running Valley Benchmark and post the scored up here (and settings ran at) and I will copy your settings etc and see what I get.
