Upgrade GPU

My current computer (specs below) I use to fly on Vatsim does a fairly good job with FSX, however I get some artifacts and microstutters from time to time and I was thinking of upgrading my GPU to a GIGABYTE GV-N770OC-4GD GeForce GTX 770 4GB. Will this help with the artifacts and microstutters? Also, I would like to migrate to P3D when the new pilot clients come out. Would the combination of the OC'd i7 950 processor and GTX 770 GPU handle P3D adequately?

Have a look here:

It has some very good information about hardware for FSX. To get to the graphics card section type in 'GTX' in the search bar, and go to the 5th result then read on from there.
