Voila, you have a $1500 upgrade and gaming will be excellent.

That said, if you are gaming at 1080p, this might be overkill. At 1440p, it will be perfect.

OPTION 2

Get a GSync 1440p monitor

Get a GTX 1080

https://www.memoryexpress.com/Products/MX62942 - $710

For 1560 + Tax, you will have an immaculately better gaming experience.

I'm not even joking, option #2 is more recommendable from me.
Also, if you want to see if you can snag a vega 56 + freesync. You end up saving a ton on the monitor for the same specs. G sync and free sync are the same except the 200 dollar markup.
