Current build needs an upgrade.
PC Purpose: Photoshop and Premier Pro.
Monitors: 2x Dell U2412M
CPU: Intel i7-2600K @3.4 GHz
GPU: GeForce GTX-460 PCIe
RAM: 16GB DDR3 Dual Channel (Corsair Vengeance Blue)
SSD: 240GB Crucial M500
HDD: 2x 1TB WD Caviar Black 7200 RPM, SATA 6.0 Gb/s
PSU: Antec EA-650 Platinum.
MOB: ASUS P8P67-M Pro (Rev 3.0)
Case: Antec Gaming Series 302

My thoughts: new MOB, Case, CPU, and 32GB RAM. Maybe get secondary SSD?

Please let me know best way to upgrade to work with Premier Pro.
 
Follow-up, pcpartpicker is giving me this warning for the 5800X and motherboard configuration:
Warning!Some AMD B550 chipset motherboards may need a BIOS update prior to using Vermeer CPUs. Upgrading the BIOS may require a different CPU that is supported by older BIOS revisions.

Can I get a translation or work around since I won't have an older CPU?

You cant avoid it,but i believe that board has a bios flashback button which will make life a lot easier.

Perfect.
I would grab a beafier cooler for the 5800X if you plan to overclock it.
As soon as the GPU markrt normalizes,get a new card.
Prefferably a nvidia 3000 series or amd 6000 series card.
Well, got an RTX 2080 Ti and it failed. I'm returning the product and looking at an RX 6800. I can't find the exact model on part picker. Any concerns over compatibility I should be worried about?
