Solution
1. Faster CPU. The fastest supported by your motherboard is the I7-4790K, however you will not be able to overclock it with that motherboard.
2. Sell your RAM and get a 2x8 GB KIT.

Best option actually, as you have to get a new mobo for the full benefit of a K CPU, is to save up for a new CPU, Mobo and DDR4 RAM.

Do you have any recomendations for motherboards?
 


For your current system you will need a Z series motherboard to fully benefit a K CPU. However as it is an old platform and if you are going to upgrade both CPU and mobo, you might as well get a new platform, either Intel 8th gen. Coffee Lake or a Ryzen system.
