I would recommend a better cpu instead, as most of if not all of those things are using the cpu, not gpu. So something like r7 2700/ i7 8700 would make quite a big difference.

This is the debate do you go new Motherboard with r7 or i8700 and keep the GPU or do you upgrade the GPU

Everyone loves to talk about the latest greatest.  I do!  But no one talks about when is the breaking point based on use case on when and what to do when a computer gets 4-5 years old

Well if the computer keeps doing it tasks fine then you dont have to do anything, just keep using it. Many people still use i7 3770k and older cpus, and they work just fine for their use cases, so no need to spend money. 

But if your current pc feels slow while rendering for example then upgrade the cpu.
