Thanks for the suggestion! Do I really to change psu & cabinet to move into skylake? I could allocate that to get a 970?
 
Your budget is pretty high so I would suggest you to wait for the release of Pascal from Nvidia then decide accordingly.
 
a gpu upgrade will be more than enough but
the r9 280 is still a good card and any upgrade would be in the gtx 980/ r9 fury class of gpus which are still pretty pricey.
new chips will be out around june-july so i would suggest waiting. (i have a 280x and that's what i'm doing)
