The CPU is perfect to go with something like the 960.
You won't see any additional increases in performance if you upgrade to an i5.
Then again, upgrading your graphics card again will probably result in a light bottleneck on your current CPU, so its best to either:
1. Save up enough money to get both an i5 and a better GPU.
2. Buy a 250GB or 128GB SSD now and be happy with it.

Appears to be a primarily gaming machine from the specs and the way the question is worded.
Don't think a good workstation would have a graphics card and an i3, they tend to be more CPU bound. :)
