My main use for the computer is gaming and web browsing. I do store my everyday files on it as well ( photos, videos, and MS docs). I play a lot of different games. The ones I am most concerned with are the top FPS games ( Playerunkown's Battlegrounds, Battlefield 1, also Osiris and even American Truck simulator with Logitech wheel.

I think you can start with your gpu first. Because​, if you go for upgrading your processor, you will need to upgrade your mobo and RAM as well. Your system is still cool. The only problem I see is that with the 970 gpu.
