I5 4590 upgrade to ? I need 4K 60 FPS (2018)

[macko.didko512]

Hello, I wanna play 4k 60 FPS lot of new games. I play League of Legends and Euro Truck simulator 2, but I want play Forza Horizon 4 and BF1.
Now I have :
CPU : Intel i5 4590
GPU : Gigabyte gtx 960 4gb
MOBO : Gigabyte GA-H81M-D3H
RAM : corsair 8GB ddr3
HDD+SSD doesn't matter
PSU : corsair VS650
4K 60Hz monitor with freesync
I have about 700€ budget.
I think I have 2 options
FIRST :
Buy used Intel I7 4790K for 200€ (which I can overclock, but when I want overclock i need new MOBO) - so new MOBO with z97 chip is used about 60€ new about 150€ sell my actual cpu + mobo for 150€ (if it's possible) and buy more RAM (lot of these used/new old components is hard to get in my country)
but after 1-3 years this components I think noone would buy them.
SECOND :
Try to sell PC and buy everything new I5 8600K/some AMD - 230€, RTX 1070/1080TI/ some AMD - 600€, MOBO - 220€, maybe cooler for CPU - 140€, 16GB DDR4 RAM - 190€, CASE - 50€, M2 SSD - 100€ it's about 1500€ - I prefer TOP brands like ASUS <3
My question is what to do ? - when cost matters

When cost matters 4k 60FPS is a little hard. CPU wise yes the I7 4790K would help, but the big expensive will be the GPU. Even a single 1080ti can struggle, the new RTX2080 and 2080ti leaked benchmarks seem to indicate they are much more capable of 4k gaming. Honestly my advice would be unless you are really hooked on 4k, just go for 1440P gaming.

Well, while I have a 4770k (the best chip of the galaxy) myself and don't plan on upgrading anytime soon, i gotta admit its an obsolete chip, so i wouldnt upgrade to it, instead i'd go for a 8700k and OC

wheres I believe for a true 4k@60 in every game out there you'll be needing an RTX, the 1080Ti can handle 4k, yes, but it does not keep 60FPS min, it will drop a bit under in some occasions, though if you're fine with that then go for it.

Ok, thank you, I will buy that I7 4th gen.

With playing on 4K will the gpu be more of a bottleneck than the cpu so why not first upgrade the gpu and see how it goes? Might want to look at the psu as well ... that Corsair VS might still be good now,but if upgrading parts and looking at it's age it might well be become a problem.

An example of what i mean,

I am waiting for benchmark of RTX series. Then I will buy. That video is interesting, but not every game is same some need stronger CPU(I know he tested more games). And about PSU I don't know. It must survive 😀
