Best CPU for this situation?

I've just purchased a GTX 1080 (not arrived yet) and i'm currently using a FX-8350. Has anyone had any experience with these 2 together? I'm not completely opposed to the idea of upgrading my CPU to perhaps an I7 but would it be worth paying the price? For gaming purposes and photo editing and video editing would I get that much of a performance boost out of an I7?
 
Solution
no doubt even a quad core i7 would easily outperform that AMD CPU but you would have to buy a new motherboard and ram with the CPU so if you have a lot of money to work with then go for it, if not then you should be fine


motherboards made for AMD CPU's do not work with Intel CPU's and vice versa

I settled on a Intel Core i7 4790K
