Here are the components I'm looking to upgrade to:

Here is the power supply I purchased about 4 years ago:

CORSAIR TX Series CMPSU-750TX 750W ATX12V v2.3 SLI CrossFire 80 PLUS BRONZE Certified Active PFC Compatible with New 4th Gen CPU Certified Haswell Ready

I'm wondering if there's any need to update/upgrade the power supply or if I can save some money by reusing my current one.

Additionally my CPU heat sink is about 5 years old, haven't had any issues with it and would like to reuse it as well if recommended:

ARCTIC Freezer 7 Pro Rev. 2, CPU Cooler - Intel & AMD, Multi-Directional Mount, 92mm PWM Fan

unless you've been beating your pc to pieces your psu should do just fine....i would suggest replacing it if its a few years old but im a pc newb so dont take my word for it, ive been told by the pros that your psu actually loses power over time so my 750w might only be capable of 600 after a certain amount of time
