Does FX8350 really not cut it anymore ?

I have FX8350 @ 4.5GHz bundled with GTX970 G1 and 16GB 1866MHz. I can feel the CPU is starting to become a bottleneck on newer games. CPU usage is 50-70% while GPU is 80-100%, 100% hitting most of the time. I believe that's bottlenecking if I am not mistaken !

What CPU, even used, do you recommend till I get a new PC in 2017-early 2018 ? I want it to be cost efficient. Would something like i5 2500k do or should I head higher ? I am fan of overclocking and will especially need this for dolphin and pcsx2
