Hello, id like to upgrade my current PC specs since they are getting a little outdated.

The main upgrades I would like are; New mobo, ram, cpu, cooler and a new case with a ssd and hdd holder.

My budget is £500 and £50 for the case. Any good recommendations? My goal is to get a 240hz monitor and be able to play it on it without tearing.
My current specs are;

CPU: Intel quad core i7-4790K
CPU Cooler: Hyper 212 EVO
GPU: GTX 1070 8GB
Motherboard: MSI Z97-G43 ATX
RAM: Kingston HyperX 16GB 2133MHz (2x8GB)
SSD: Kingston HyperX 3K SSD 120GB
Hard Drive: Stagate Barracuda 1TB 7200rpm
PSU: Antec 750w
Case: BitFenix Neos ATX tower case

Probably go AMD here to save a bit on mobo and cooler, 5600X or 3700X would be good with a b550/b450...

Probably go AMD here to save a bit on mobo and cooler, 5600X or 3700X would be good with a b550/b450 board. That all in all will cost around $450, you probably can't get a case for that little that's worth buying. I'd say 16 gigs of 3600 RAM is gonna set you back ~60-70 USD, and the case maybe $70-80 for a good budget one. That's a total of about 450 pounds.

oh 1070 can reach crazy fps in csgo,no questions asked.
Edit:Im pretty sure csgo can run on your specs right now,cant it?
Yes, thats correct, it runs fine but I often catch myself losing frames a lot, it keeps going from like 150 to 350 and its never stable. As well as Id like to get a 240hz monitor and for that Id like to upgrade my system which i am comfortable with doing.
