Hello
Recently i've become more and more annoyed over somewhat lack of power in my gaming pc. Its an older (4-5 years) pc, which i upgraded with a GTX 970 near January 2016 and a cooler. It didn't really meet my expectations during my game time with Black Desert Online, The Division and recently Player Unknown Battlegrounds.
I've recently got myself a 144hz 1080p which i wish i could use some more potential off. Only game i right now notice the difference in is CSGO. I would like to have somewhat the same feeling in BF1 and potentially Destiny 2 and Star Wars battlefront 2 when those come out.
I could of course lower the graphics ingame, but that is not really what i wish. Games like BF1 is best played on max settings Right now the pc sits around 70fps in BF1 on High, but dips under 55-60 fps. Same can be said with PUBG, but only lower.
Another thing, the PC is loud. My friend got a pretty similar pc, and his is much quieter. It would be nice to have a silent pc, which i actually could share a room with, without having a headset on.
This is my current setup.

Last year in managed to OC my CPU up to 4.4GHz, where it currently sits at.
The temperatures in my PC is good, but i suspect could be better with better cable management(case related).
I have been increasingly interested in a AMD ryzen 1700, but im not sure that's what my pc needs to run better.
Would it be better to wait some months, to see what the summer brings in terms of possible GPUs? Like AMD vega and look after price drops..
My budget is around 1100-1500 USD, but lower would be nice.
Im located in Denmark, so hardware is bought here is abit more expensive than USA.
Thanks
