First : sorry for the bad english. French are not well known for their good talents on foreign languages !
My question ? I have a pretty middle rig right now. It used to be good with all games running on ULTRA@1080 about 1 and half years ago but now i'm struggling to get 60 FPS on new games.
It run OK on Gears of War 4 which is pretty well optimized. But I love playing at Battlefield 1 and I have to settle down some graphics (shadows etc...) to medium. Even with that, on some maps with 64 players I get 30-40 FPS drops. Not dramatic ! But frustrating to get down graphics and FPS drops that ruins a little the experience. Also on THE DIVISION (last patch 1.5) I can't put the graphic at MAX, AND it's lagging on some parts of the game... The witcher 3 is pretty OK but 2 ou 3 options are at medium or something like that. To finish : Deus EX MD lag like hell even not at the max settings (also bad optimisation i guess... but still unplayable)
In short : I wanted to submit my rig to you. I would like to change some stuff but not sure on what exactly even if I have some guess :
So what do you think ? Don't want to put a lot of money so here are my guess :
So should I change just the processor or just the graphic card ? I prefer not both :-(
Note : i dont want to overclock, tweaks or stuff like that. Just want a clean, no brain PC that run games smoothly or almost
Thanks you, i'm open to your suggestions !

In short : I wanted to submit my rig to you. I would like to change some stuff but not sure on what exactly even if I have some guess :
processor : intel core i5 2500K at 3,3 ghz
OS : Windows 10 last updates on a small SSD. Games are on classic HDD
Memory : 8 GB
Screen : on a gigantic projector, insane in battlefield 1 (or movies) I recommend it ! BENQ W1070 at 1080p, dont want a resolution higher (or lower!) don't care about 4K
Graphic Card : Nvidia GTX 970 4 GO (MSI I think)
mother board : ASUSTEK P8P67 Sandy Bridge
So what do you think ? Don't want to put a lot of money so here are my guess :
- maybe get a last gen i7 ? or a new i5 is just fine ? I think that battlefield 1 for example ask a lot a of processor performance for example
- RAM seems OK to me because when I (very rarely) check the occupied RAM, it's never full even on BF1
- I guess I can make a big difference with a new graphic card but I also red that the new 1060 cards are pretty much like the old 970/980 GTX (not sure though, I didn't red all the news/benchs about it)
Note that i prefer to stay in all case with an Nvidia card, dont want to reinstall all my system
So should I change just the processor or just the graphic card ? I prefer not both :-(
