That's a pretty decent machine to be upgrading "from". :P
Get a better cooler and push that Phenom 2 x6 to 4ghz with a 3ghz NB clock and it is still enough for many years to come. (I have a 1090T and a 1045T as well as an FX 8120 currently. - Although the 1045T isn't being used.)
Drop in a Radeon 7950/7970/R9 280/280X/290/290X and you would easily handle next gen gaming.
The FX was more of a side-grade if anything.
You can push the scores up 10-15% by boosting the NB clock to 3ghz on the Phenoms, granted you get orders-of-magnitude increases in heat, but in my own testing 1.45v core voltage is easily sustainable with decent cooling.
On the flip side, you can feel happy you're going to pretty much have AMD's fastest CPU well into 2015. :)
