Processor upgrade, from an FX 8150 to?

Hello everyone, I currently have an M5A99FX Pro R2.0 motherboard with an FX 8150 in it, I got it hastily without doing the research because I heard "8 Cores" and said "Such process, much hyperthread wow" and didn't realize how broken of a chip it really is with only one floating point... My question is, based upon CPU World's comparison the 8350 doesn't really make much of a difference and is quite comparable in price to the 8150 even now... What's a good step up from this processor? For the cost of the 9590 with liquid cooling kit on newegg, a whopping 369 dollars, is it even worth it? Should I suck it up and spend that much or so on a board and an i5/i7??

Advice is much welcomed :thumb:
