So, after annoying everyone in this forum for the past couple of months (sorry everyone) It was finally confirmed I am getting a summer job this summer, which means I will make enough money to buy a new gaming PC. I currently have an AMD FX 8320E, a radeon hd 6670, 8GB of corsair value 1600MHZ ram, some crappy case, a seagate barracuda 500GB drive and all of the other parts I don't know. Now, I am stuck between 4 options for my new gaming computer.
The computer will focus on "hardcore" gaming, and I realy want to go for 4k.
1. Stick with the FX 8320E, upgrade to an r9 380(x) and then get zen(+) and vega when they come out (4k)
2. As soon as I have the money, get a high end GPU (like an r9 fury or a gtx 1080) and a 6700k (4k)
3.  Get a new polaris/pascal GPU, keep the 8320E and stick at 1080p
4.  Get a high end GPU (fury or 1080) and wait for Zen(+) (4k)
What do you think makes the most sence and what would you do?
thank you for reading.

I have a Fury Nitro and an FX 8320E. Screw my life?

I would go with plan 2, mainly because that CPU is going to be your only bottleneck. Wait for the new Nvidia cards to be released and pick up one of those, an i7-6700K and a great OC MoBo and cooler, like @GreezyJeezy said.
