Operating System: Windows 8.1 Pro 64-bit
CPU: Intel Core i5 2500K @ 3.30GHz Sandy Bridge 32nm
RAM: 8.00GB Dual-Channel DDR3 @ 665MHz (9-9-9-24)
Motherboard: Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd. Z68P-DS3 (Socket 1155)
Display: LG ULTRAWIDE (2560x1080@60Hz)

Power Supply: Seasonic G Series V2 G550 550W Modular
The above is my current system. I was running at a 1360 x 768 resolution using my old 32" Samsung LE32B450 TV but I've ugpraded to a LG 2560 x 1080 monitor and... well, things are running a bit slugish with the much higher resolution and everything is running hotter, so much more noisy. The PC is a few years old now other than a PSU and graphics card replacement last year, as well as a 512GB SSD to replace a broken 128GB model.
I'd really appreciate any help with the right parts I should be getting as I'm out of touch with current hardware and what's around the corner. I'll be looking to buy in around 2 weeks but I wanted to get everything nailed down as to what pieces I need. Budget is up to £1000 to bring it right up to date and future proof where possible.
Thanks!
