I would keep the GPU for now, order your new Ryzen, motherboard, and RAM, and see how it performs. If the R9 can handle what you want it to, great; you can postpone a graphics update for a while.
I should note, however, that unless AMD processors benefit you (because of workload type or personal preference), the highest tier of 8th generation Intel chips should release within the next couple of weeks to compete with Ryzen. They get a core count bump, putting them on par in that respect, but pricing is up in the air. If you are interested in team blue, I'd say wait to get a taste of what they have to offer before making a several hundred dollar commitment.
