Other than that you're looking at a new CPU/MoBo/RAM. Which depends on your budget. Looking at $400 to start.

Least you have a good foundation of the SSD, PSU and I assume case.
Yeah, case is a NZXT mid tower

I also forgot to mention, I game on this PC maybe once a month and it's non-intensive games such as Assetto Corsa and CS:GO. It's mostly used for productivity so I assume CPU and RAM are my priority. Would my upgraded CPU and RAM be bottlenecked by the GTX780 if I get one of the newer Ryzen cpu's and 16/32GB of RAM?

I just want to be able to do tons of multitasking on dual monitors with no hesitation.

Budget isn't too strict but I want to do this as cheap as possible and don't mind looking for deals on craigslist and ebay but I'm just not too sure on what to keep an eye out for CPU wise.
