Hi, my current pc feels like it need a bit of a boost to run the newer games on a high setting at 60fps and 1080p. It currently consists of i5 2500k and gigabyte ud4 mobo, an AMD HD6870 1gb and 8gb of ram. When playing my latest game Rome 2 there is a lot of lag on the map for example and it often complains of low memory.

So my question is will I be able to play all new games eg BF4 / AC black flag at 60fps by upgrading the graphics card to r9 290x or nvidia and if not what else needs upgrading? Thanks.

Your video card only has 1GB of vram, upgrading to a newer video card like the 280x may help since it has 3Gb of vram.
Also if there is still enough in your budget, then consider on getting yourself a SSD.
