Hi, i want to buy some parts for my pc to be able to play recent games like bf4 and future games.

Current PC:

CPU : i7-870 @ 2.93 GHz (1156)
MoBo : MSI 2A9C
GPU : ATI Radeon HD 5570 1 Gb
RAM : 6 Gb - 3x Samsung 2 Gb 1Rx8 PC3
PSU : BESTEC ATX0300DWC 300W
HDD : Seagate Barracuda 7200 1 Tb
DVD RW Drive

I will keep my HDD, DVD Drive and RAM if i can .. (can buy more RAM if needed)

Any suggestions for CPU - Mobo - GPU - PSU ? and for a good case (mine is too small for good video card)

I was looking for something like GTX 770 and i7 4790k but i dont know which motherboard is the best for them

And can i change parts step by step .. not all at once .. like changing my psu - case - gpu first then in 2 months change my motherboard - cpu etc ?

Thx for your help and your suggestion ;) 

sry for my english .. hope you can read it well haha

The only thing that really needs upgrading is the GPU. And i recommend putting in an SSD. What's your budget for upgrade?

i dont really have a fix budget .. i just want something that worth the money and that i will be able to play bf4 with very good settings... and if i upgrade my gpu i'll probably need a more powerful power supply right ?

i7 - 870 is ok for a recent gpu?

Don't go with cheap PSU. It may damage your system in the long run, but to use the card just make sure you have enough power. The graphic card usually comes with an adapter in case your PSu don't have the correct connectors

So my current setup with a good XFX 850w PSU and Gtx 770 will work with i7 870 @ 2.93 - MSI 2A9C - 6 Gb Ram ?

That's good for gaming. But 8GB will be much better

Killer network does make a difference especially on LAN parties and decrease latency.
No problem with my msi board even when overclocking my CPU. And you get a free mouse. So, why not.
But the VGA connector nut thing beside the VGA connector, comes off after a single use. but you can put it back
