@Mateyyy I want to run the game at ultra. 

Well, what's your budget for the total upgrade then? Because the 580 is not meant for Ultra settings 100FPS+ in 2020.

^ and some used 8GB DDR3 that's similar to what you currently have. Make sure you end up running your memory in dual-channel.

 

Either that or save up a little more money and upgrade both your GPU and CPU. In a few months AMD is likely going to be releasing their Zen 3 CPUs, and for GPUs we'll be getting Ampere from Nvidia and RDNA2 from AMD. Granted usually at launch we only get the high-end stuff, especially on the GPU side, but if anything you might see more great deals pop up on the used market.

Would DEFINITELY GET 16GB Ram if playing CODMW 2020

GTX1070 OC on the similar setup (My Sig in Profile) does 90-110FPS ranges running around at Ultra
1660Super/2060+ should have you sorted...(GPU wise)

Maximums - Asus Z97-K /w i5 4690 Bclk @106.9Mhz * x39 = 4.17Ghz, 8GB of 2600Mhz DDR3,.. Gigabyte GTX970 G1-Gaming @ 1550Mhz
