Another Upgrade Planning need some advice

My current spec is ( build in 2012/2013 )

OS : Win 10
MoBo : Gigabyte Z68X-UD3H-B3
CPU : Intel i7-2600 @3.40Ghz 8CPUS
Memory : Patriot 16GB (4x4GB) DDR 3
GPU : MSI GAMING GTX 1060 6GB ( upgraded 1 month ago from GTX 560Ti )
PSU : ANTEC 650W 80 BRonze
STORAGE : 250GB 850 EVO ( Upgraded few days ago just for PUBG ) , 120GB Samsung 840 EVO SSD ( Windows Installed here ) , 30GB SSD (forget the brand name), 1TB HDD (forget the brand name)

CASE : Corsair Carbide Spec Alpha Black/Grey ( Upgraded few days ago )

Cpu Cooler : Cryorig M9i ( Not yet installed )

 

I am currently playing Players Unknown Battleground ( PUBG ) and with this pc my fps always dropped, not as smooth as my second pc with i5 6400 + gtx 960 4gb.

 

So, I am planning to upgrade the mobo, cpu, psu, RAM. What di you guys think? Do I need to wait the cofee lake and z370? Or just upgrade into Kabylake i5/i7 + Z270 Mobo.

Any advice welcome. Budget is around $500++ maybe can upgrade depends on the suggeestion :)

Thanks !!

Defiantly wait for coffeelake (No choice since it launches tomorrow anyway), but Ryzen may also be a good option.

Will get better performance with Ryzen, it comes with a capable stock cooler that will allow a decent over clock. Also an upgrade path otherwise with you have nothing to go to with kabylake.

If you can wait the extra 2-3 months when coffelake is released in india, then its worth the wait. Ryzen is another alternative, you still get good performance from ryzen and the AM4 platform provides lots of upgradability. You can easily get the AM4 mounting hardware for your cooler as well.
