Yes you would notice a difference and I think it would be a worthwhile upgrade, however:
1) Wait for more availability of the RX 480 4gb, it will retail around $200 and outperform the 970.
2) A 500w power supply concerns me as a low quality one could not handle either setup properly. Could you tell us the specs of your PSU?

Moving up to a 970 from a 650ti would be worth it, but the 970 is a little strong for the 3330. I would wait until I could upgrade both at the same time, CPU and GPU

You're probably right, but I'm skeptical. Do you have any way of verifying how a 970 does with a 3330?

There's no direct data on that exact combination. But here's good reading:

Second link is Haswell, not Skylake, but close.
