Just check if the CPU is the bottleneck or not? Then you know. Look at GPU and CPU utilization while playing (or whatever). If the CPU is at 100 % it is the CPU. If the GPU is maxed out when then a bigger GPU can help. When neither GPU nor CPU are maxed out, a single thread seems to be the issue, at which point upgrading does not help much.
Without knowing what games you're playing and at what resolution we can't know for sure if you are gou or cpu constrained to really answer the question.
That aside, it isn't a huge jump for the cpu and I'd very seriously wonder if it's worth it all VS saving up to basically rebuild the rig with new mobo ram cpu and gpu. Might have to wait longer to upgrade but better than spending money now just to need to do the rest in under a year anyway, imo.
