What should I upgrade?

Hey, I have been seeing a lower performance on recent games so decided its time to upgrade.

I have about £500 to spend and im looking for recommendations on what I should upgrade.

my current system:

i5 3570k @3.40GHz
8gb ddr3
AMD Radeon HD 7900 Series

Im thinking about getting 980ti but thought I would ask here for any recommendations first.

Thanks.

I would get the 1070 instead of the 980 Ti and a aftermarket cooler if you don't have one to overclock your CPU if your motherboard supports it.

yeah I was just looking at a comparison between 980ti and the 1070 and the 1070 seems better for the same price.

GTX 1070 and an extra 8 GB RAM.

Have you got an SSD? If not for their price they can be a worthwhile performance upgrade.

No I dont and after a bit of research I dont know how i didnt know about them.
Definitely going to get one with my new card, thanks.

Yeah going from a regular Hard drive to an SSD makes such a difference,I couldn't go back to a mechanical drive now.

I have 2 SSDs in Raid 0.
