Hi.

Im looking to upgrade my current cpu & gpu (i7-4790K 4Gen LGA1150 Socket) (EVGA GeForce GTX 970 4GB PhysX CUDA)

Looking for a cpu & gpu that can run most games on normal mode. 

So im hoping some one can help me by recommending something in the mid-range pricing

My current setup is:

(I know i may need to ugrade more than cpu and gpu)

 

Motherbord: MSI Z97 GAMING 7, Socket-1150

Memory: Corsair Vengeance Pro DDR3 1600MHz 2x8gb

CPU: i7-4790K 4Gen LGA1150 Socket

GPU: EVGA GeForce GTX 970 4GB PhysX CUDA

CPU cooler: Corsair Hydro H100i GTX

What would be the reason you want to upgrade?

With a lot of games I would say you could get away with just getting a new videocard and calling it a day. So knowing what games you play and what resolution would be great.

 

Otherwise, if you want/need to upgrade your CPU, you will also be upgrading your motherboard and memory.

Do you have an SSD right now as well?

thta cpu is still decent overclock it.

you can buy better gpu (with the overclocked cpu) something like

lower mid range: rx 5600XT

mid range: rx 5700

upper mid range: rx 5700 XT/2070 super

Your CPU is still good and rocking for gaming. The only thing I'd upgrade is your GPU. I'd get an RTX 2060S/2070S or an RX 5600XT/5700XT.

 

But if you want to upgrade your CPU, you'll have to get a Ryzen 3700X/3900X with ASUS ROG Crosshair VIII Hero, Gigabyte Aorus Master, Gigabyte Aorus Xtreme (or an entry level motherboard Gigabyte Aorus Elite 200€), paired with a fast 3200Mhz CL16 memory.
