Why do you think you need to upgrade the board? That board will support a new GPU

Your CPU is still fine so I wouldn't worry about the mobo.

GeForce GTX 760 is a good upgrade + raid or ssd

Just get the GPU for now, the i7 should handle it fine but should you find yourself getting bottlenecked in the future you can always transfer the GPU to a new motherbd & processor.
