you're good, just get a good CPU cooler and overclock.

i have a HYPER T4 cpu cooler . honestly don't know how to overclock . cpu stays cool as hell under load too obviously because it's not overclocked. but i'm picky i wish to play 4K and some games only get 30-43 FPS 4K but explosions and heavy bulletfire tanks it. any suggestions

For 4K you'll want a more powerful graphics card. Also, overclocking is pretty easy to learn, you should check out some video tutorials to see what you need to do.

what's your suggestion? for a GPU?

4K is really demanding. A 1080 ti even struggles at high details, so if you were content for a mix of medium/high, that should be your card.
