Yep, a 4790k and a nice z97 mobo would be good

I'd say that you'd get a good boost from upgrading to the 980, then another good boost when you come to update the cpu and board

If you get a good clocker you'd see noticible differences.
I went from an XFX 7970 to a retail MSi 290 and even at stock everything felt faster and smoother. Up to you though, the 290's can be had off the MM on here for around £150 delivered 2nd hand.

Nah, it's really all about the GPU, that CPU is fine.
Id never do that but whatever.
