Help with my PC build, upgrade(s) advice.

[Sneakyfool]

Hi, I currently have a PC which I've been using for almost 2 years now, I'll post specs below but before I do the reason I come here is I recently bought a new monitor

Asus MG279Q 27" IPS FreeSync Gaming Monitor - Link below

Now I have and will be using this for gaming, currently play Eve online when I get time and hopefully some BF1 when it comes out shortly.

I'm hoping to play on 2560 x 1440 Resolution without suffering to much FPS drop, with the best settings I can (hopefully ultra) but I'm realistic in the fact I may have to upgrade some specs.

This is where I need advice, I want to get the most out of a decent monitor as I've been using a 24" DGM 10:80p 60hz for as long as I can remember.

I'm pretty sure most of my specs won't need upgrading that much possibly only the CPU but I'm wiling to listen to any advice on my pc

I don't really want to spend more than £200 if I can help it. However depending what I need done I can spend a few months upgrading bits and bobs.

I'm also from the UK if that helps any.

I would guess the most limiting factor is your CPU and mobo, the GPU will do OK if you dont push too much the textures and details.

The intel i5 has more single thread performance than any high end AMD CPU. Not sure how well BF1 uses the CPU cores but overall you would be better off with a i5.
