Even getting a rx 470 would give you about a 127% increase in GPU performance.

Are you thinking rx480 now and wait for more money to buy a cpu.

this motherboard doesnt support oc so I would have to wait and buy a new motherboard if I actually wanted a reasonable step up

That's not 100% true. A quad-core is still better than a dual core. It would essentially double your performance in the right environment.

I disagree, it would probably be about 50-60% increase when using multiple cores.

That i3 has hyper-threading so it not as bad as it seems.

Oh yeah! I forgot about hyper-threading. Meh, either way though a sizable upgrade.
