Well, I don't think you really need anything better than a quad-core for the time being, as even system-demanding games likely won't need more than four cores, and mostly demand graphics processing power.
But, if you're dead-set on upgrading, you'll just have to make sure that you stick with an AM3+ core type (which is what your motherboard needs) and stay within the FX and Phenom II series.
If you change your motherboard, (maybe you chose Intel) you'll have to make sure everything else is compatible, which it will most likely be.
Someone with a lot of computer hardware knowledge should check my claims, though.
I like my computer as it is right now(financially lol) but I just can't stand how in some games my frame rates are very poor for example Black Ops 2 is kinda bad, about 30-40 FPS multiplayer. I even downloaded beta drivers for my GFX card to run it better, still not where it should be. BF3 plays nicely on high but framerates drop as I die in multiplayer as well as dropped framerates other times.
I guess it would be wise to stay in the AMD range
