Do you overclock? If not just get one of the Skylake I5 bundles for around £300, you'll see an improvement over the fx 8150 (Game dependent of course).

yes I overclock a little and it will be for mainly gaming and maybe some rendering , but I am starting to record said gameplay soon so is a quad core enough ? .
would like it to last a while as well , I have a rx480 and a r9 290 (but not at the same time lol)

Well that is where your old fx 8150 excels, recording gameplay without hitting frame rate too much.

Have you looked at these?

Slightly over budget but 6 cores and hyper threading.
