What would be a viable upgrade?

So I might be upgrading within the next month or so and was wondering what my best upgrade route is. My budget is around 450, and I want to upgrade my cpu, motherboard and include a case within that budget. I am a avid gamer, and also use the adobe suite pretty frequently, (light-medium video editing, and graphic design work using photoshop and illustrator) so I am looking for a "best of both worlds" upgrade. What would be a viable upgrade for me? (I am leaning towards a Xeon 1231 V3) 
Any help is appreciated. :)

Vulcan (Main): Intel Xeon E3-1241 V3 | MSI GTX 1060 Armor OC | G. Skill Sniper 16GB + 4GB @1600  | Crucial BX100 120GB, 1TB WD Caviar Blue, 2TB Seagate Barracuda, 1TB External Seagate Portable | EVGA 650 GQ | Cryorig H7 | NZXT Source 210 Elite
