I agree with jpe1701's list, but I couldnt help but realize you said you didn't plan to overclock in your post. Considering you have a great PSU and totaly capible parts, I reccomend you change that decision, you can basicaly get more performence for free.

Thank you jpe1701 , do you think it will run ESO on like medium settings smoothly now or would i need to save more and upgrade?
Ne0Wolf7, well its because i read that overclocking can cause problems, so i never messed with it because i didn't want to mess anything up is all.

If you saved a bit more and picked up either an RX 470/570 or 480/580 or gtx 1060 6gb you would be good for high or ultra. The 1050 ti will be good for medium.

A little over budget but can play all 1080p games at max settings with 80+ fps. Great system, the 970 is "rarely used" but comes from a trusted seller, shouldn't have any problems.
