Practical advice on upgrade from 2500K

Hi all,

Bit of a dilema - currently have the following:

GTX 970
2500k clocked to 4.8
8 Gigs Ram

My system is struggling somewhat and i am having to crank settings down nowadays. Games like Player Unknowns Battlegrounds (which face it looks pants) runs like a dog on any settings above High and even then its not a buttery smooth 60fps experience.

My dilema is that im pretty short on cash at the moment having taken a significant pay cut in order to retrain in a new professon.

My 2500k has frankly been the best chip i have ever owned but it may be time to upgrade.

I cannot justify hundreds for a new system and was hoping to upgrade the 2500k for the next year or so and then see where i am at in 2018.

So, what chip could i feasibly upgrade to with my 1155 system and what would be the best? I am assuming the GTX970 should be more than enough for my 1080p setup for now (correct me if im wrong)

thanks
