I'm in a similar-ish boat. I've got an i5-6600k with a solid overclock on it. Single core performance is completely modern competitive, but it falls very flat in multicore.
Most games will get a huge bump just with a new GPU - You'd do well with an RTX 2070, or the next generation AMD GPUs (speculating - but there's a lot of momentum on that front).
That being said - LinusTechTips did a head to head benchmark comparison between the i7-7700k (the latest my Z170 chipset can handle) and this 3300X. Bottom line - the 3300X is an insanely good value for performance.
