Haswell+ has much better IPC than the SB generation. AMD's Zen platform has a bit better IPC than SB, a lot more cores, and generally clocks above 3 GHz. I'd consider upgrading.
(FWIW, TR is a very upmarket part compared to a 4-core SB and you will pay a large premium for that, especially for the motherboard. However, even an 8-core Ryzen 1700X would be a huge upgrade over a 4-core SB and the 4- and 6-core Ryzens look very affordable.)
