Well I at least recommend more RAM and a better ssd. You could probably upgrade to a 1070 and still be under $1000 if you wanted to spend that much.

I have no idea what your budget is. It's impossible to answer your question without knowing. I'll take a shot in the dark and say that with those parts, you should at the very least be getting a GTX1060 6GB. If this is too much, get rid of the ssd. If that's still too much, cut back a little more on the cpu + motherboard even if it means getting an i3.
