Upgrading PC from 2013

[Douwevdm]

Hi everyone!

 

I noticed that my 'beast' pc from 2013 is not the beast it once was. I would like to do some upgrades. However, I can't afford a completely new pc, so I want to gradually upgrade my old one. 
At the moment I am using a 1080p monitor but I would like to upgrade to a 1440p monitor in the future. My budget for a graphics card is 350-400 euros (the netherlands) and my budget for MOBO, CPU and RAM is €550.
I would like to do the upgrade which gives me the most performance in games first. With the current hardware I have to turn the settings down to low-medium in games such as BFV. I also use my pc for my study.

 

CPU: i5 4670 (non-k)
GPU: MSI Geforce gtx 770 2gb Gaming OC
MOBO: MSI z87-G41 PC-mate
RAM: Crucial ballistix sport 2x4gb 1600MHz
PSU: OCZ 600 watt
SSD: Samsung 840 EVO 120 GB 
HDD: Seagate 2tb 7200rpm
Case: Corsair Carbide 400R

get an i7 4770K and pool the leftover money into gpu.

with a $500-700 you can have a gtx1080.

then your pc will feel like a beast again.

Thank you for your reply! 
I could get a i7 4770k/4790k for around 150 to 200 euros. However, I don't upgrade my pc very often. Isn't it better to use newer parts in order to make it more future-proof? And if I want to do that upgrade, which one should I do first? GPU or CPU? 
Is it for example a good idea to wait for ryzen 3rd Gen?

you will upgrade eventually, but since your current pc still good enough, why not use it.

if you want to play games invest in the gpu. it will futureproof your system for gaming.

yeah a very good idea to wait for ryzen 3. it will be way ahead of current lineups.

I would not put that much money only in the gpu if you are only playing 1080p atm. 

A 4770k plus a decent cooler and some possible overclocking will help you a long way. Maybe you can even get a deal on a 4790k for under 200 €. Maybe you can find matching ram 2x4 so you top up to 16 GB or you get some used 2x8 sticks. Should not be more than 60 € 

Put your money in a 1070ti (consider used for under 300 €) or in a 1160 if it is going to launch at any time soon.

If I counted right you should be left with ~400 €  and can spend that amount for a decent 1440p monitor

A 1080? The 2070 will give significantly better value.

As others have mentioned, your setup is still good for gaming but it depends on the games you play and at what resolution.  A GPU upgrade should boost performance.

 

Also used DDR3 is quite cheap nowadays might be a good idea to grab yourself 16GB of RAM or more.

 

Cheap used i7 could also be an option.
