Best DDR3 based upgrade

[wannabedamned]

I currently run a i7 3770k overclocked to 4.4ghz

I'm looking to upgrade my motherboard and CPU, but I don't want to move onto DDR4. I have 32GB DDR3 Ram which I'd like to keep using.

PC is used for gaming, but also rendering. My rendering is offloaded onto my 1080ti, but I could do with more CPU threads\cores to keep system stability and general useability while rendering.

I was wondering what's the best motherboard\CPU combo out there for rendering, and gaming while sticking to DDR3.

Thanks for that! Had a look at the processor aswell, looks to be a 20% performance increase in certain areas. Which I'd happily take.

Just found out about the 4790k however so going to see if i can find one on MM
