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

Wait until AMD releases their CPU and GPU. Might be better in the long run.

"May your frame rates be high and your temperatures low"

I misread titles/posts way too often--correct me if I don't.

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

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.
