Time to Upgrade

F1 2017 is coming out soon, so I want to be able to play it on full with no frame rate issues.

I posted something similar on here just over a year ago now and didn't upgrade in the end, but now is the time after a PPI windfall!

This is my current set up:

Gigabyte Z77X-D3H Intel Z77 (Socket 1155) DDR3 Motherboard
Gigabyte ATi Radeon HD 7950 Windforce 3X 3072MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card
Intel Core i5-3570K 3.40GHz (Ivybridge) Socket LGA1155 Processor (77W) - OEM
GeIL EVO Leggera 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C9 1600MHz Dual Channel Kit (GEL38GB1600C9DC)
XFX Pro 550W Core Edition '80 Plus Bronze' Power Supply
AOC G2460FQ 24" Widescreen 144Hz 1ms Gaming LED Monitor

I already have SSD so no hard drive required.

£800 budget so hoping you can put something together!
Thanks

What GPU's best to get? Also if I want 4K any monitor suggestions?

This game is out in 3 weeks or so, I don't really want to wait around.

What does everyone suggest? Happy to go without 4K. Just want to be able to play this game on max.

£800 budget in total.

Is my CPU ok? Do I need more ram?

What's the difference between the MHz of the memory? Is it worth getting 2600mhz DDR3? CPU already overcooked to 3.8 FYI

Will do mate.

Thanks

Carl just add another 8gb of the same or simulor ram, the bigest upgrade will be the gpu.

I've decided to pick up a GTX 1070, will there be any issues with bottle necking? Should I look at my CPU?
