What is my next PC Upgrade? What should I buy?

[Superliga_1]

Hey there.

I was wondering what you guys can tell med about my current PC.
And I feel like I want to upgrade it for better gaming performance - when playing H1Z1 for instance, I can't run it on medium settings with 1500+ render distance - my fps drops to 60-80fps - and I want to get better performance here.
Thing is, I don't know much about building PCs and new parts for my PC - so what would you recommend?

New RAM? CPU? or???

Here's my DxDiag: http://

Also, how can I get the most out of my current system? Any software musts?

Thank You!

Forgive me for not knowing where the CPU is, but I can't find it. It also appears you have 2 970's in SLi?

I've got the following CPU: Intel® Core™ i5-4690 4x3.50GHz (Turbo 3.9GHz) 6MB cache

And how many 970's do you have?

Well you have a couple upgrades as I can see them. You can upgrade your CPU to an i7 and get 4cores/8threads, or 8cores/8threads, and so on and so forth. However for gaming, you won't see too much of an increase. You would see a gain if you used multi threaded applications such as rendering and whatnot.

You could add a second 970 and SLi. This could give you great performance from games that can utilize SLi. SLi can be tricky, but it does scale pretty well.

Or you could buy a 980Ti and replace your 970.

You could add RAM, but you won't see much of a difference if you're only gaming.
