    First off - I highly recommend waiting until the game is released before you do anything.

    The recommended system requirements for Witcher 3 are high, but they are also somewhat misleading (like how a i5 2500 is "minimum" but a FX8350, which is generally slower per core, is "recommended"), and your at or above the minimum listed.

    It could be that your rig plays Witcher 3 ok - maybe not MAX MAX, but well enough that you don't need to upgrade too much.

    It could be that Witcher 3 plays significantly better on 8 cores than your 4, or heavily favors AMD or nVidia graphicsm and it's extremely likely that a major patch just after release will change the way it performs significantly on all hardware. And it could be that no matter what hardware you have it performs like crap (it wouldn't be the first time a game has done so).

    I would let all of that play out before I threw a lot of money at my computer just for one game.
