Looking for refresh suggestions

Need help and am looking for suggestions to upgrade my wife's Ghost S1. She recently upgraded to a 4k monitor and the CPU seems to be a major bottleneck. Any suggestions? Haven't built anything in a while but willing to upgrade pretty much anything besides the GPU and case, she loves the case and a 4090 or 5090 isn't in the budget.

Current specs:

  • Intel i7 8700k (Unlocked) w/ NH-L12 CPU Cooler
  • Nvidia RTX 3080Ti FE
  • ASRock Z390 Phantom Gaming-ITX/ac
  • 32gb 3200 DDR4 Vengeance LPX
  • Samsung 970 M.2 1Tb
  • Corsair SF750 PSU
