the main issue for this socket is that u cant go more than 8 gigs of ram… its becomes not enough… but as a cpu… it can handle up to gtx 960-970 or 1060 ))) if your mb supporta 16 gigs of ram (rare) overclock cpu an u are free at all

If you can't move to the Core I series then this is the best bet. And Yes, you would note a massive improvement as this runs on 4 cores and yours on 2.
