Your CPU is fine. Performance wise they are almost identical, with possibly your CPU having a slight edge in heavily threaded scenario's.
The performance difference at the same clock between Sandy/Ivy/Haswell is pretty insignificant all things considered, especially if you pair up Sandy/Ivy with good Ram.

Plenty of games today have 8k textures.
Texture resolution =/= display resolution.
| Diogo said: Of course is up to you whether to upgrade or not, but you're still fine with that chip. I have an overclocked i5 3570k and I still don't find the need to upgrade. |
The biggest increase in performance since the second gen Core ix series was with Coffee Lake... And ONLY because Intel upped the core counts finally.
Pair up any Sandy-Bridge or newer chip with super fast Ram and they are still competitive.
