My build is this, nzxt s340 case, amd x4 860k cpu, gigabyte ga-f2a78m-ds2, a 500watt evga psu, 1 stick of 8gb ram ballistix sport, wdc blue 1TB and a gigabyte r7 360 gpu, and a 120gb sandisk ssd. If i upgrade my gpu im pretty sure i will also need a new psu preferably modular and it would most likely be bottle necked by my cpu right? so its basically a whole new pc :/

That CPU will hold back a 380x. I tested a 780 in a 8350 rig and an 860k rig. 35 fps less in the 860k rig in BF4.

 

I'd upgrade the cooling on CPU and GPU and get the most out of what you have. Or upgrade the platform.
