Motherboard
N68C-GS FX

These are the upgrades I am looking at, they are within budget and have great reviews.

AMD FX-8320E Black Edition Hex Core CPU (Socket AM3+, 3.20GHz, 8MB, 95W, AMD Turbo Core Technology, AMD Balanced Smart Cache)

Corsair CMZ16GX3M2A1600C10 Vengeance 16GB (2x8GB) DDR3 1600 Mhz CL10 XMP Performance Desktop Memory Kit Black

Are they compatible is my question.
 
In that case Im gonna need another motherboard hmm.. Any recommendations on what would work with what I currently have and what I want?
 
In all honesty if you're upgrading it all might as well go Intel. i5 4460, Asus H81 board, and the RAM you listed before. Should only be a few pounds more, or you can get cheaper RAM.
