You're back in 4th gen Intel/DDR3 motherboard. If you get a newer gen Intel, you're going to need to upgrade your motherboard and everything else including ram. Your ram sticks are probably DDR3 and they will not be compatible with a newer motherboard that runs DDR5.
That said, I have been looking into rebuilding my 10th gen Intel PC and found a decent build for about $1500 based around a 14700K.
Unfortunately, I've heard a lot of negatives about the last few generations of Intel chips. Build issues are causing them to die quickly. They run hot and draw a lot of power as well, so if you're going to build around a 13th or 14th gen (not sure if 15th is out yet) you will need to account for probably upgrading your PSU and CPU cooling as well.
I haven't bought the new build I had planned because now I'm thinking about switching to AMD considering Intel's CPU issues, but...then I have to research entirely different parts.
What I would probably recommend is doing some research around recommended specs for the specific programs you want to use and determine what you actually need. I think based on the limited info you've provided you could get yourself a huge upgrade to what you have currently for well under $2k. You probably don't need top of the line specs unless you're doing professional level rendering/Unreal Engine type work. If you want to stick with Intel and are on a budget, you could build a very affordable 10th/11th/12th gen PC that would blow your current build out of the water, and tide you over until Intel gets their shit figured out (hopefully). The disadvantage to this is the motherboard is going to be DDR4 I believe, and you'd have to buy everything again once you decide to upgrade. Otherwise I'd consider a midrange current AMD or Intel 13th/14th gen.
