Processor and board since effective CPUs rely on varied platforms
With your Z270 setup, you're able to upgrade it for running coffee Lake CPUs such as the 8700K.
A new CPU would be a solid upgrade and could work well with your GPU. I recommend choosing a more powerful AMD Ryzen processor and a newer board to ensure better and more affordable upgrades down the line. The 6th and 7th generation Intel CPUs are still quite expensive, but if you're comfortable with the current performance now, you might consider waiting and observe future developments, though it could take some time.
