It isn't a CPU I'd be using with a 290 but it should be alright. The next upgrade on the list will definitely have to be the CPU and motherboard.

We can't suggest anything until you give us an exact budget for the CPU and mobo.

I speak for most people when I say this is the bare minimum in terms of upgrading. You could choose your upgrade based on your budget.

1) Get an AMD 760K Richland CPU (which is FM2 so it will fit in your current motherboard)
[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
($89.99)

2) Grab an AMD 6300 and an AM3+ motherboard.
6300 [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
Motherboard [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
($189.98)
