Upgrading advice.

Hello. I've had somewhat of a shocker. I recently bought Total War: Warhammer and I must have not read the specifications properly as it runs appallingly and looks even worse.

My RAM and OS are fine. It seems to be down to my Graphics card and CPU. I have an AMD Sapphire Radeon R9 290 Tri-X OC 4096MB and an Intel Core i5-4690K 3.50GHz (Devil’s Canyon).

What would be the best way to go my CPU? Stick with Intel or go for AMD? As for my Graphics card I'm pretty lost as to what I should go for. I don't really have a limit to what I can get, I just don't want to spend loads on something when a cheaper one will be as powerful and run games just as well.

Any help would be hugely appreciated!

I have 8GB (2x4GB). Playing it at any res seems to cause issues. I think when I first booted it up everything was automatically on the lowest.
I thought that my drivers were updated but it would appear not seeing as the start up screen for the game says I don't. Where would you recommend looking seeing as I must be getting something wrong!
