Most worthwhile upgrades are going to require a full platform swap-- it could be worthwhile or useless depending on your games of choice, but you'd be looking at around a $300-500 investment at minimum for a new CPU, board, and memory.

There are some inexpensive xeons that you could look into. Something like a Xeon E3-1250 V2.

 

Otherwise an i7-2600 or 3770.

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 10 and Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

How many watts do I need? ATX 3.0 & PCIe 5.0 spec, PSU misconceptions, protections explained, group reg is bad
