AMD's Ryzen CPU's tend to require a new socket (AM4) and DDR4 Ram and isn't backwards compatible with the AM3+ socket and DDR3 Ram your system would be using.
And if you go Intel, you will also need a new socket (1151) and Ram (DDR4) as well.
I would just replace the Motherboard, CPU and Ram at this stage, unless you find value in replacing the other hardware.
It should all work fine.
The Radeon 7770 is roughly equivalent to AMD's high-end Integrated Graphics these days anyway, if you are fine with keeping resolution and visuals limited, she will be fine.

Awesome, thanks! Definitely going to replace the Motherboard, Ram, and get a 2600X. I'll probably wait until some holiday sales happen first though.

I would skip the 2600x.
2600X: $224.99 USD. (6 cores, 3.6ghz - 4.2ghz)
2700: $289.99 (8 cores, 3.2 - 4.1)
1700: $209.99 (8 cores, 3.0 - 3.7ghz)
1700X: $239.99 (8 cores, 3.4 - 3.8ghz)
1800x: $239.99 (8 cores, 3.6 - 4.0ghz)
Best value would be the Ryzen 1800x in my opinion, or jump on the Ryzen 2700.
