So I decided to un-dust my PC and decided to start upgrading it to be able to play newer games (TW3, Quake Champions, Battlefield 1, etc) a friend told me I'm bottle necking my GPU, so he told me best to start with a new MB and CPU. I started looking around the internet but there are soo many options, and since in this part of the world pc parts tend to be a little over expensive I can't afford to spend in nothing over the top.
I've checked the recommendations in this site and i3 7100 or i5 7500 seem like the best options right now. Idk about mobos a lot, but I have a budget of around 400 ~ 420 USD dlls tops.
I 'm playing mostly in 1080p, but I have a 4K tv, maybe sometimes going a little higher than FHD.
These are my current specs:

■ What would be your recommendations to start off? for at least achieving a good smooth experience in 1080p
■ After that, what should be the next part to upgrade to get to higher res?
■ Would it be necessary to change to DDR4? or just recommended for future proofing?
These are my current specs:
■ CPU: AMD Athlon(tm) II X4 635
■ GPU: Gigabyte GTX 760 2GB
■ MB: GA-MA74GMT-S2
■ RAM: 8.0 GB DDR3
■ Cooling: Corsair Hydro H60
■ Case: Cooler Master CM 690 II Advanced
