2070 Super can be found under 800 for me, thats not biggie.

My main issue is will I be bottlenecked badly if I buy something like these?

and then there is that, which I don't know if im ready to do especially since everything runs really well, just annoying with Doom eternal tbh. 

yeah if everything is running alright wait longer for new releases which will drive prices down and then you can do a full upgrade. or buy parts as you go. e.g: by the gpu now, then get a b550 board when they drop to allow the upgrade path to ryzen 4000 then wait a bit to gather more money and get something along the lines 3600x or something like that.

Budget (including currency): 800 AUD

Country: Australia

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Video and Photo editing and rendering. Autodesk Inventor, Aftereffects, Photoshop. Looking to play AAA titles at high.

Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc): 

 

I have had my current setup for a while and while it still goes pretty well although I struggle with high settings on newer games, and with only 3 GB VRAM on my GPU itll only run low on doom eternal.

On Doom Eternal I run it at 70 fps at the low texture settings, with everything else ultra but im looking for hopefully around 80 FPS at the high settings. This is all 1080p.

Any recomendations on what I should upgrade would be great, I'd like to keep the mobo if possible but it open to all ideas.

My Cpu is the Intel i5-6400  and my GPU is theSapphire Radeon R9 280x

I have 16 Gb DDR4 Ram on the Gigabyte GA-B150M-D3H.

 

Thanks in advance!

a 5700xt or a 2060 super is around this price range you could stretch to a 2070 super if you have abit more money that you can find.

i would upgrade the mobo if possible not sure about the cpu might be worth upgrading all 3 to be honest.

2070 Super can be found under 800 for me, thats not biggie.

My main issue is will I be bottlenecked badly if I buy something like these?

i would say there may well be a bottleneck so replacing the mobo and cpu probably is the best idea you could always go with a cheaper GPU and then get a new cpu and mobo.

or of course go with a cheaper card that wont bottleneck like a 580 but its always worth upgrading if you have the cash as those parts are pretty old now and if you want the best performance on games in terms of FPS obvs more money is better. depends on what money you have available.
