well, personally I would find a better MOBO and OC the CPU, as well as upgrade your GPU and maybe think about a PSU too.

I would go second hand for the mobo. maybe an old Z68 board so you can really get some juice out of the 2500k. For the GPU you can get some excellent deals on 7950's right now.

So for me I would go for a older top of the line Z68 mobo. maybe £60, 7950 second hand is around £150 and a new PSU around £75-80 I would highly recommend a fractal design 750W integra R2. It is a SUPER quality PSU for pretty much as cheap as you can find them. See comprehensive PSU reviews online...

You now have a spare £100 and a huge upgrade.

If you're on a small budget and you already have a PC and own PC games, then the PS4 will kill your budget with the cost of games alone.

I would upgrade as followed:

- CPU: still good
- MoBo: No upgrade required as it has a very small effect on gaming
- Graphics card: go for a R9 280x (260 EUR) or R9 290 (360 EUR)
- RAM: upgrade to 8GB (buy the identical 4GB you already have) (30 EUR)

Leave the rest as it is. This way you spend about 300 - 400 EUR and can play most games in high details at 1080p.
