Considering a CPU upgrade, any thoughts?

[Ethnod]

Not sure if I will, looking at prices but just bought 4x 4TB Hdds for my NAS and 4 more for my PC and backup system, plus RAM and a bunch of other stuff plus Christmas is coming

 

But, given that this is my rough hardware:

 

MSI Z77 mpower

i7 3770K

16 gig ram (soon to be 32 gig) 1600 ghz

Asus 1070 8gig OS

 

Any thoughts on a CPU upgrade for gaming and photography? (Photoshop and Lightroom)

Don't ask budget as I honestly don't know, I'll see at Christmas if I have money and if so how much I have and then decide if its worth upgrading. Just looking to get recommendations but I'm not so sure my CPU is that much of a bottleneck, but depending on prices and what you guys think I might actually go for it

I have upgraded from similar system: 4770K, 16GB RAM, 1070 Ti to : AMD 3900X, 32GB RAM, Evo Plus 870 500GB m.2, RTX 2080 Super. Quite happy with new system but still tweaking mobo bios, fan curves etc. Mobo is Gigabyte 570 Pro. Wanted to support AMD because they offer now better value CPUs but honestly if i could go back i'd just get Intel 9900K and be happy with it. Friend of mine has it and it's pretty much plug and play system. AMD 570X mobos seems like rushed and you will have to spend some time tweaking it to get all right.
