Something like a 2nd hand 980??

Budget?

GTX 970 is pretty decent about 3.5 times more powerful than your current card.

GameGPU published some CPU and GPU results:

Looking at the configuration tool,it seems the HD7850 is probably the bigger bottleneck I suspect,but OTH the game only really uses a few threads.
