you have still a god cpu. the ivy bridge/haswell cpu there only 10 percent speed diff in them. the ib are better overclocker then the newer cpu. if your going for a newer cpu look aqt the newer haswell-e or wait for skylake that use the newer ddr-4 ram on the 1151 mb in 2015. also look at the newer m2 or the newer sata express ssd on a newer mb for speed.
