It is a balancing act.
You need enough video card and cpu to work together. If the cpu is too slow, they video card does not have enough work to keep it busy, but if the video card is too slow, the cpu will be waiting for it to be ready for more work.
Both of these are bottlenecks.
I do not think that a 7850 is being held back by the current cpu and the system seems to be fairly balanced.
Best to look up reviews of your game and video card combination to see what to expect. If review sites with a highly overclocked Intel cpu are not doing any better, your card is at its limit and a faster cpu will not help you.
Alternatively, you can also use something like MSI afterburner to monitor GPU usage. If it is high(90% plus) most of the time. The cpu is keeping up fine.
