Quick question could i just swap my graphics card to the 1050 and wait until i can afford a new computer, or would my CPU bottleneck its performance? 

I would do the opposite if anything, get the R5 1600 now and hold out with the GTX 950 until you can afford a GTX 1060 6GB or RX 580(if prices drop back down).

 

GTX 1050ti is about 15% performance gain over the 950

R5 1600 is over 50%+ performance gain over the FX 8320

 

The R5 1600 is a really great CPU that rivals i7 7700k in multitasking. Whereas the GTX 1050ti is a low end GPU, even if you get the GPU first and upgrade CPU later, you will see a GPU bottleneck and will want to upgrade GPU again, and therefor you would waste the money you are spending on the 1050ti now. Therefor it's better to get the R5 1600 now which won't bottleneck even with a GTX 1080 and get a better GPU when you save up.

Yea and man thanks for all the help, but how much of an improvement would this CPU make over the one I have now. The only CPU spec i understand is clock speed 

Ok the clock speed of the fx 8320 is 3.5 GHz and the ryzen 5 1600 is 3.2 GHz but vastly outperforms in multithreading tasks
