Yeah i think your right I'll start with my ram. 

I would actually just get a second hand 4790k.  You have an overclocking board + aio so you can get a nice 4.5Ghz or so OC.

 

You can get a second hand 4790k for about 150 - 225 bucks and it will perform on par with a 7700k.  Get one of those and some RAM and you are golden.

So I'm looking to update my curent setup witch consist of:

Intel Core i5-4670 @ 3.40GHz cpu coold by a Thermaltake water 2.0 120 mm aio l/c

Asus z87m-plus mobo

6Gb of ElCheapo ram

Rx 470 4gb gpu

Thermaltake toughpower 750w psu

Fractal ARC mini r2

2x samsung evo 256G ssd

1x wd green 1terra HDD

 

I use it to play game like Skyrim, Fallout 4 both heavily moded, Overwatch and all Farcry. At 1440p  

My question is would the upgrade to this https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/list/HVrtFd would be worth it ?

Should I just trow more memory in my current system and call it a day?

obviously I'll change my GPU later this year or early 2018.

Do you have any problems in current games you play? I would definitely throw new ram in there. I personally feel that 16gb is the recommended and 8 is minimum now a days.... If you dont have any problems with your current setup and get the experience you want from it, you should be good.

Can't open up PCPP right now however I'm inclined to say that getting a better GPU is probably going to help to push out more frames although I have no idea how CPU-bound those mods are. 

Looking at my signature are we now? Well too bad there's nothing here...

GPU and RAM would be a much better upgrade.

 

it's very very close is terms of performance to the i5-6600 which is still quite a good CPU.

 

unless you're pushing 100% CPI utilization, then no point to upgrade

Yeah i think your right I'll start with my ram.

Want to custom loop?  Ask me more if you are curious

Great advice but my aio will need to be replaced I'm afraid it started to make weird water noise.

With what you save on not buying a new mobo + expensive ddr4 you can probably get yourself a decent 240mm aio like the arctic freezer or celcius s24
