My Budget is very limited but i want to Upgrade my PC.

1. Budget & Location

I'm from Germany and have about 500€ that i can spend for sure. The currency is €.

2. Aim

I'm playing games like GTA V and Overwatch, sometimes CS:GO. Planning to buy Battlefield in near future

3. Monitors

Using two Monitors all the time. One is Full HD and the other one 1024*768. Would like to connect my TV but I'm to lazy to buy a long enough HDMI-Cable. Maybe upgrading to 2* Full HD.

4. Peripherals

No Peripherals needed.

5. Why are you upgrading?

I think my CPU is to slow. This should be the main problem but I need a new HDD or SSD because my current HDD is already full since 2 years and I can't figure out which files I should delete anymore.

Diagnosis:
GTA V running at lowest settings: Still lags and Maploading issues. I think the GPU is fine.
Overwatch same: No significant drop in framerate if i put up the graphic settings.

CS:GO is hard to tell. Most time stable, sometimes framerate drops to like 5 FPS.

Sometimes even when browsing the web with firefox or chrome i have slight performance issues.

Watching Youtube-Videos at FHD-60FPS pushs the CPU in Task-Manager to 98-99% but works with one or two bigger lags in 10 minutes.

Would like to record my Gameplay as well. Some friends of mine are making great Youtube-Videos and I would like to go along as I did like 5 years ago, when Youtube was really small.

Trying to use Premiere or free Software like Hitfilm 4 Express and cutting FHD footage is a headache.

 

I know my GPU is like very low end today but i just bought it for 40€ from a friend of mine who build an awesome 1600€ machine a month ago. I would like to link his build log on Youtube but its German so :P You will never see it.

My diagnosis tells me that my current bottleneck is my CPU.
Upgrading it to an 7700K would be really expensive:
Processor + Mainboard + DDR4 Ram + Power Supply + new Case (because my old is microATX or miniATX... i dont know the correct name) would be round about 700€.

Any Suggestions?

 

Edit: I know my English is pretty basic, but still I hope you can understand my problems.

Wow, that was a fast response!
My idea might be stupid, but I will tell you.

Let's start with some background info:

I'm 17 y old and doing my A-Levels in germany and finish them in june.
If everything works out fine I'm going to have a quite decent income (but its not for safe).
For this reason i would like to start upgrading my CPU now, and my GPU later this year.
My GTX 750 TI (I failed adding my signature so now you can see my hardware), as far as I know, is fine to play all my games at least at stable 30 fps, which is fine for me at the moment. (Tell me if I say or think something wrong pls)

Maybe try to leave out a GPU in your calculations and just give me a good advise for a base system ready for a new GPU replacing my GTX 750 TI maybe even a GTX 1070.

What would a system like this look like?

 

Tell me if you think this is a bad idea!

Yes I think you should invest in a decent CPU first. If you have no need for a GPU at the moment then I would recommend you still go for an i5 and a good board like:

This leaves you with about 100 euro for a case, PSU, and a HDD, you should be able to get all of that for around 540 Euros
