Need help with an upgrade please

[turret]

So I have built my own computer a couple years ago and upgraded the GPU recently.
However I think I need a new/better CPU and more ram to play some of the better games, such as Vampyr and the shadow of the tomb raider thats coming out..

Also have a question.. I've replaced components before, but never a CPU.. how hard/easy/difficult/annoying is it to replace CPU? I dont wanna break anything.

I need advice though.. its been a long time.. Theres are my computer specs currently :


MOBO - ASrock Z75 Pro3
CPU - intel core i53350p
GPU - NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070
Ram - CORSAIR Vengeance 8GB (2 x 4GB)
PSU - Rosewill Green Series 530W
I actually own vampyr, and it runs nice but if i low spin the camera, it feels jerky, if that makes sense.


Thanks.. anything would help. I think I mostly just need a better CPU and more ram. I have 4 ram slots on my mobo, but i dont know if i can mix and match? bleh.
Price range, well, the less money the better, but i have savings. Bout $500

yup thats for the 8600k variant for the 8400 u can get a cheaper board or maybe go with 8gb ddr4 instead of 16

never installed a seperate cpu cooler, or even replaced a mobo using the same tower, guess im nervous :O But yeah, i put in th eK after thinking about it..probably last a lot longer i reckon

youll want to buy some thermal paste as well for the cooler its like 5$ so no worries i work with coolers all the time they are a piece of cake to install slap some paste screw it on put in the cable boom done with liquid cooling its the same situation but u have to install the radiator which can be harder for smaller cases with the tubes

Sounds good.. i know my case aint the biggest, hell i barely got my GPU in side it when i first installed it XD I could of moved my hdd but managed to make it work.
