Suggestions on upgrades for my PC

Hi,

I am posting in hope of receiving suggestions on upgrades for my PC. This is my PC in it's current state:

So far I have thought of upgrading my CPU to a Skylake (which means new motherboard), DDR4 RAM and possibly a second GTX 970. My budget is $700 AUD and I will be playing games like Counter Strike Global Offensive, Elder Scrolls Online, Skyrim, The Witcher 3, Cities Skylines, Rust, XCOM 2, GTA V and both the new Tomb Raiders. I would hope to be able to run these games as close to 60FPS at 1080p as possible. In the future I am also looking to upgrade to a 4k Monitor if that helps.

Thanks

Do not get a 4k Monitor, you would need to spend alot more on powerful graphics cards. Get a good 1440p monitor if you want to upgrade.

+1 GTX 970

If you want to play at 4k your going to need 2 GTX 1070 is SLI. With 2 GTX 970 you can play at 4k and 60 fps, but atmedium graphics detail.
