What case and PSU do you have? Upgrade case/PSU if they're low quality. You could maybe add a 2nd 390 if you want better performance in games. Or maybe add a nice cooler if you're running stock. Maybe add more storage. Maybe add more RAM, another 8GB, RAM is pretty cheap these days anyway and 16GB can be beneficial in AAA titles.

I have a NZXT H440 case and XFX 650W XXX Semi.Modul 80+ Br power supply, it seems like my CPU keeps maxing on most games now so do you think a CPU upgrade might be needed?

what resolution are you gaming at currently?

If 1080p, go invest in a higher resolution monitor.
