I’m upgrading from an AMD FX-8350 to an Intel i7-8700k. I use my PC for gaming and photoshop. Being equipped with a GTX970, will I see a significant performance boost gaming? I anticipate a massive improvement in render times with photoshop.

Render times should be much faster I would think.

For gaming it will depend on the game, In CPU intensive titles or games that just don't run well on FX processors which there are a few it may improve performance quite a bit. In games where the fx 8350 is capable of getting the most out of a 970 it wont do much.
