Your bottleneck is the GPU for 1080p at 60 fps. No reason to upgrade your CPU which will require a new mobo as well.

I understand that getting a good GPU and holding the CPU upgrade will create a bottleneck. Though, the budget... I'll look for a solid GTX 1070 and maybe upgrade the ram so that next year I can deal with the cpu+mobo issue without compromising. Maybe on black Friday I'll be able to find some deal on those. You all been really helpful, thank you!

So a 1070 with the current system? Wouldn't the 2400 CPU be a problem for upcoming games? It's the minimum requirements for the assassin's creed origins due to release this month...

Hello, I'm currently running an old system consist mainly of an i5-2400, Intel DB65AL, 2X4GB ram (1 DDR2 and 1 DDR3), Gigabyte GTX 750 TI Windforce, 550W PSU (Antec VP550P). My original plan was to upgrade a key component every year to keep costs down in hope of playing every title in 1080P aiming at high-ultra. This year I planned on replacing the CPU+MoBo with something like an i5-6600K and an MSI Gaming 3 or similar so that by next year I can upgrade the GPU and perhaps get better Ram. Since, Coffee Lake was released. The way I see it I have 2 options: 1. Buy a GPU (like a 1050 TI) and postpone my CPU upgrade till next year in hopes that coffee lake CPU and z370 boards prices will come down to my budget. 2. Buy a Kaby Lake CPU like an i5-7600K + air cooler like the EVO 212 and a z270 mother board (in hopes their prices will drop in the coming months due to the compatibility issue with Coffee Lake) and upgrade my GPU next year to something like a 1080 TI. 2nd option will cost more today but will allow me to step up next year with a good GPU while the 1st option will get me through the next couple of years with a CPU and Motherboard that will last for longer. Any suggestions?
