Hullo!
I'm currently running an i5-4690K (4 cores, 4 threads) in an H97-HD3 (socket LGA 1150), with 12 Gb of DDR3 across 4 sticks. Graphics card is a Geforce GTX 970. I've been running this for a few years without major problems, but it's just starting to creak on the newer games, especially at 1440 resolutions, which is native for my monitor.
After some advice - what's likely to give the biggest performance boost for gaming? Newer graphics card, or new mobo/cpu (and presumably memory?). Looking to minimise the spend (and time upgrading/reinstalling) if possible. In essence, is it time to retire the mobo/cpu/memory yet?
Cheers in advance!
