Refreshing a German PC

Hello,

 

First!! I am a german guy who is currently in University (FoodEngenering) and English is not my native language....

 

I want to spend like 1000-1400 €(1050-1450USD) for an Upgrade.

 

The system is mainly for Gaming and programming software as well as design machinery.

Games ( BF 1, Starcraft 2, Dota 2, Skyrim, Just Cause 3....)

 

At the moment I am using 2  1080p 60hz monitors 

but my new system should be good for 21*9 3440*1440 at a reasonable Hz (Freesync or Gsync)

Monitor costs isn't included in the budget ( I am buying the monitor later)

 

I have a running win 10 64bit and Keyboard and Mice, so no need to buy

 

I am currently running:

FX 8350 (no oc)  Alpenföhn Matterhorn for CPU cooler

Gigabyte 990FXA UD3

16 GB g.skile 1866 MHz

xfx 7870 GHz edition crossfire ( one is already sold) 

480 Gb Crucial SSD

1 TB WD Harddrive

PSU: Corsair CSM 650W 80+Gold

Case: Phanteks Enthoo Luxe

 

 

I bought the System 3 Years ago with only 1 GPU and upgradeI the 2. GPU like 2 Years ago (at the time I bought the 2. 1080p Monitor).

 

 I thought about the I5-6600K ( with the NZXT Kraken X62) and a GTX 1070( ASUS or so), paired with 16 GB 3200mhz Corsair RAM on an ASUS Z170 Pro Gaming Aura. ( This is about 1300 € in Germany)

Or, since I liked AMD a lot....  wait for ZEN and VEGA....

 

I don't know :/

 

Thanks for helping

If you can, wait for Zen to release in early 2017. See what that brings to the CPU market, then make a decision.

Project White Lightning (My ITX Gaming PC): Core i5-4690K | CRYORIG H5 Ultimate | ASUS Maximus VII Impact | HyperX Savage 2x8GB DDR3 | Samsung 850 EVO 250GB | WD Black 1TB | Sapphire RX 480 8GB NITRO+ OC | Phanteks Enthoo EVOLV ITX | Corsair AX760 | LG 29UM67 | CM Storm Quickfire Ultimate | Logitech G502 Proteus Spectrum | HyperX Cloud II | Logitech Z333

Benchmark Results: 3DMark Firestrike: 10,528 | SteamVR VR Ready (avg. quality 7.1) | VRMark 7,004 (VR Ready)

 

Other systems I've built:

Core i3-6100 | CM Hyper 212 EVO | MSI H110M ECO | Corsair Vengeance LPX 1x8GB DDR4  | ADATA SP550 120GB | Seagate 500GB | EVGA ACX 2.0 GTX 1050 Ti | Fractal Design Core 1500 | Corsair CX450M

Core i5-4590 | Intel Stock Cooler | Gigabyte GA-H97N-WIFI | HyperX Savage 2x4GB DDR3 | Seagate 500GB | Intel Integrated HD Graphics | Fractal Design Arc Mini R2 | be quiet! Pure Power L8 350W

 

I am not a professional. I am not an expert. I am just a smartass. Don't try and blame me if you break something when acting upon my advice.
