Honestly a gpu like that will be limited by your cpu so I would go for a cpu but a new gpu is definitely something to keep an eye out for

I have an Anet A8 as my project printer and a i3 MK3 for when I want things to work. 

 

I extrude my own filament and haven't saved a penny yet.

Up the GPU. You already have a decent CPU and 8GB of Ram.
