Replacing CPU/MB/RAM for bottlenecking

[WarKel]

Hello Guys,

 

I'm looking for some advice on upgrading my aging CPU/Motherboard and RAM.
Last summer i already upgraded my GPU for an GTX 1070 but since the bottleneck video just recently I have realised I might be giving up alot of performance.
My use for the PC is mainly simulator games(Eurotruck/Farming simulator 17) and Starcraft 2.
In preperation for the new release of Farming Simulator 19 at the end of this year, I now am preparing to upgrade.
Currently FS17 is sometimes having FPS drops when there is alot of objects and behicles around. And the same goes for Starcraft 2 in very unit heavy maps.
My location is the Netherlands and my budget for the 3 componants is around €600.
With this setup I'm driving a Dell U3415W @ 3440x1440 pixels.
Down below I will list my current setup.

 

Hardware to keep:
Powersupply: silverstone strider gold evolution 850W
SSD MAIN (windows): Crucial M4-CT128M4SSD2
SSD SECONDARY: Samsung 850 EVO 1TB
CPU Cooler: Thermalright True Black 120 (currently mounted on socket LGA 1155)
GPU: Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1070 G1 Gaming 8G

 

 

Hardware to be replaced:
CPU: Intel Coore i5 2500K, socket LGA 1155
Motherboard: Asus P8H67-V
RAM: 16GB DDR3 (4* Corsair 4GB PC3-10700 (667Mhz)

 

I hope anyone can shed some light on my questions.

Thank you for the fast replay!

Somehow in my head I would like to stay with Intel. So the i5 8600K option looks really good. Is there also an Asus motherboard you would recommend?
I saw on tweakers.net that this board got alot of good reviews in its priceclass.
Asus Republic Of Gamers Z170 MAXIMUS VIII HERO

you'll need a z370 motherboard, but other than that any board will do fine. If you like asus, go for asus. I personally don't care much about mobo brand.

So Asus TUF Z370-PLUS GAMING would do the trick?
