Hi all and thanks for reading 
as first post here, I'm seeking some help in upgrading my rig, either with OC or replacing components.
this is my current spec:
case: CM 600 III
PSU: EVGA SuperNOVA 750 G2
CPU: i5 4590
MoBo: Z97 ANNIVERSARY ATX DDR3 SATA3 USB3.0 SKT 1150 HDMI
RAM: kingston hyperx savage 4gb x2
GPU: asus R9 290 DirectCU II (oc'd @ 1060 CC/1350 MC w/o modifying voltage)
Monitor: Samsung S24E370DL (for freesync)
I am thinking about upgrading something for smoother gaming experience. I guess a viable option could be swapping to a 1070 but i should switch to a higher res and gsync monitor too.
Other things I'd really use some advice are:
1) switching to a more powerful mobo/cpu combo could help me increasing fps substantially?
2) to further OC the GPU, i suppose i should start touching the core voltage, but I am not too much experienced in this. What room I still have for OC, considering I only have vents for heat control?
My budget is around 500$, but if I managed to squeeze the GPU a lil more I'd be happier.
any other tip/suggestion is very well accepted!
many thanks!
