I would suggest updating your gtx 680 to the gtx 1070 for its 4x vram, 2gb vs 8 gb, much newer architecture and 25% more CUDA cores.    Rendering, shading, wireframe would see a big boost.

If your primary drive isn't an SSD then that would also give you a boost.

I forgot to mention that I have 32 GB of ram! Not sure that would make a difference in your thinking? Regards!

Nope.     System ram and video ram are utilized differently, so more vram would help in renderings and storage of textures, etc.
