what should I upgrade?

I have a $700 AUD budget. What should I get with it for upgrading my pc? Im not looking to use all of it but I want it to be better than it is now. I want it to be able to run GTA V on at least medium settings and some other demanding games like GTA.

 

Currently I have:

 

PSU: 550W

CPU: Intel G3258 @3.5Ghz

GPU: Asus 960 2GB 

Motherboard: Asus B85 Pro-Gamer

Ram: 6GB Samsung DDR3

 

Tell me what I need to upgrade and what I should upgrade to.

 

Thanks in advance

I woul upgrade your cpu as it might bottleneck your gpu :)

 

2cores is not enough for modern games :/

Do you know which cpu I should buy? It is an 1150 socket. Will an i5 do the job or not?

Well it really depends what your needs are, are you planning on OC your CPU? 

Also here is a video made by Linus that explains the differences between i3/i5/i7 and how it doesn't mean much:.

 

If you wish to overclock your cpu here is a good i5:

->Intel Core i5 4690k

With no OC

Intel Core i5-4460

 

For the K processor, make sure though that the bios of your board is the newest as if the bios is an old version, it might not support the overclocking of your k chip. This would mean that you would have to update your bios to be able to oc your cpu.

Here you can find all the versions of the bios for your mobo: https://www.asus.com/Motherboards/B85PRO_GAMER/HelpDesk_Download/

I was thinking of the i5 4690k because I plan to overclock the cpu as I did with the one I have now.
