Yes it is worth gaming at 1440p/1600p and easy to do. But I would go with a video card and memory upgrade to your current system. Your CPU is fast enough for what you are doing.
 
I'm not exactly sure about WoW CPU requirements, but I suspect you're OK on that front.

Maybe you could blow your budget on a big ass monitor (like this one I saw on AT recently) plus mid-range GPU (AMD for the monitor linked above) and you could walk away a happy person.

But you're asking about purchasing about 3 months in the future and a lot can change in that time.

Does World of Warcraft support officially 4K in 2018?
