Falleneden :
Right now I dont really have any high end games going on. Playing some early access stuff on Steam like Rust, Space Engineers. But have played HON, SC2, Diablo 3, etc. I guess the reason for the upgrade is I have the money and wanted to see if it was worth it for games that are coming out in the near future that I would play like Heros of the Storm. The build is probably stranger because I just pieced things together from a couple of machines.

wow man you havent cheaped out on anything on this build appart from the GPU department...it's quite a strange build TBO...lol
are you looking to play modern games and next gen games on that rig? is that the reason for this upgrade? if so, what games are you looking to max out and what resolution you plan to run your games at?
Ok now i see better where you are going with this...the GPU's you have i hands don't performs anywhere near modern gpus (even low-end sub 100$ gpu,s performs better than what you have) so pretty much any mid-range
graphics card will be a major leap and will allow to play all the games you listed at pretty much high or maximum settings with great framerates... (mid range cards : AMD radeon r9 270, r9 270x, Nvidia GTX 760) price range : 179$ to about 249$ US
If like you say ''you have the money'' and you are intersted in some graphicaly intensive games like maybe watch dogs that will come out in may or maybe battlefield 4 or crysis i don't know or you want some future proofing out of your purchase than you will be happier with an high-end GPU (High-End GPU : AMD radeon r9 280, r9 280x, Nvidia GTX 770) price range: about 299$ to 369$
If money is no object and you want the best of the best (like maybe if you plan to play at 1440p, 1600p) and you plan to game the most GPU intensive games on highest settings with 60FPS minimum at all time, then you are looking at an enthousiast graphics card ( radeon r9 290, r9 290x or nvidia GTX 780, GTX 780ti)
Price range 500$ to 799$...
One thing you must know, you have a very high-end machine with a very low-end GPU atm...this CPU you have is top of the line and will feed any GPU out there and will run any game you want it to run, it's all about the GPU in your case...
Basicaly what you have now in terms of gaming is a ferrari with a ford pinto engine under the hood...
