The Core i5 1st gen socket 1156, is consider old compared to today's components. I don't see a upgrade yet because your system is still has some life in it. Upgrade when it's really, really necessary, not upgrade just because something new has arrived.
To make your system look much superior, my main computer that I'm still using, runs on socket 775!
Yes it's ancient, but it also have the latest parts like a SSD, SATA 6Gb/s ports, and USB 3.0 ports via add on cards.
Post the board you have and then we may know if it supports SLI or not.

Overclocking usually shortens the lifespan of a unit in my experience. See if you can sell the MB and the GPU, then use what you get from that to buy a new CPU and MB. You would probably end up saving more money that way.
