I would recommend the gpu upgrade. Here a nice article comparing the 4790k to Ryzen and 8th gen intel https://uk.hardware.info/reviews/7900/intel-haswell-core-i5-4670k-a-i7-4790k-versus-ryzen-a-coffee-lake-worth-upgrading

tier 4 GPU and a tier 1 CPU, the answer seems obvious to me.

upgrading the CPU will not get you very much.
the GPU however.
this is assuming you are needing more power, 144hz, 1440p etc

GPU, you still got at least 2 years in the Intel before its going to suffer, You can see all new Intel chips aren't any faster.

So summing up, a platform change to i7 8700k (cpu, motherboard, ram) would cost over $500 and bring 15%performance boost top.
However for $450-500 you can get a 1070 and get 40% improvement in games.
