Would I see any tangible performance by upgrading my CPU to a newer 2011_V3? I'm guessing probably not, but I don't want to hamstring my PC over a ~$400 part.
 
Solution
5820k is about as contemporary as you can get. Broadwell E is a slight improvement, or even worse if you consider their poor overclocking performance.

I would make no changes until at least LGA 3647 Skylake-X processors are available (and even then probably not)

Solution
Newer LGA2011v3 CPUs come clocked slightly higher from the factory (~2%), have slightly better performance per clock (~0-5%) and overclock a bit worse (-5-10%). After overclocking, they can actually be slower.

There will be some cases where a socket 1151 i7 6700K would be an upgrade, both honestly there's no point in changing what you have.
