In short HELL NO. The G20BC is way slower. Skylake sucks, it's focused on saving power and not performance. That GPU and CPU is slower than what you just got KEEP IT!

The GTX 970 will play anything just about maxed out at 1080P. And the 980 can't really play 4K so I'd either stick with the 970 or get a GTX 980 TI depending what resolution you play at. I do 1440P and I use to have a 970 and it worked great!! I have the 980 TI now and it's kinda over kill for a 60Hz monitor. So that will be my next upgrade 144hz IPS panel ��

look I have the G20AJ-US009S, added a Samsung Evo 850 500GB, used the Samsung software to clone the 1TB drive to it. wiped the 1tb made the SSD primary (took awhile back in march to figure it out) upgraded to 16GB RAM, replaced the video card (recently) to a 980ti, replaced the 230w PSU AC Adapter (not the 180W) with the 330W Y90RR from Dell/Alienware. a few of us have done this and it works. if you don't replace the 230 with the 330 you'll have to use MSI Afterburner and throttle power limit to 90%. then it'll stabilize. Also just upgraded to windows 10 (patching NVidia drivers first, only 1 monitor hooked up btw) all is well. runs great.
I'd hold on skylake, it's not worth doing just yet. BUT the USB 3.1 & capabilities of hooking up 4 SSDs sounds intriguing (though unnecessary really)
