So, I have a unique issue. Upgraded to High Siera, but at the same time I picked up a 4k monitor (no longer have an 1080p monitor either) on Cyber Monday and a Wireless card (Fenvi FV-T919 802.11AC).
Ever since the upgrade(s) I've noticed the computer lags incredibly bad. I'm not gaming or anything just browsing the web or developing using an IDE. I'm noticing the biggest lag using iMessage or using my IDE when developing, is this a TRIM issue, or can the CPU can't keep up?
Thoughts, suggestions ( other than upgrading to an i7, which I've already planned after the holidays ).

EDIT: Forgot to mention its noticeably snappier if I use the default 4k resolution, if I scale it down, the lag gets worse.
EDIT x2: Okay its the GPU, I monitored the GPU using hwmonitor, and you can see the huge spikes in GPU Memory. I'll just have to upgrade the GPU first. I thought that for sure the GTX 950 could handle a single 4k monitor, any suggestions for the best upgrade, without spending over $500 bucks?
