Upgrade CPU or not?

Hi all,
I mainly play world of Warcraft but with some other games thrown in around it.
That's said I recently upgraded my desktop to a EVGA 970 GTX 4gb, in the main its been worth but in wow I am only (he says only :P) getting between 45-75 fps which moves about hugely when raiding and lots of action on the screen. For a bit more detail I am running in windowed mode hence the lower FPS.

I am starting to think that it might be more my CPU that's the issue and I am wondering if I should upgrade.

My desktop is an overlockers rig from a few years back running a I7 2600k clocked at 4Ghz, liquid cooled with 16GB ram.

My opinion until now is that the 2600k at this clock rate is still a beast and upgrade to a 5xxx series CPU wont make much difference to WOW?
 
You know what..its been a while since I have done any over clocking... any tools that I can experiment with....last time I did I was playing with core frequencies and voltage via bios :(

CPu temp is around 62 at moment and never moves so I don't mind having a play.
