You’ll still see a noticeable improvement over your current card. I gave my old system with that CPU to my brother and he put a 1060 in it and he’s happy.

And when you feel like upgrading the CPU (and mobo and RAM) you get an even bigger boost. It’s free real estate!
its a 3770k I would replace graphics card and overclock the CPU to alleviate bottleneck issues until it dies.
