CPU/MB/RAM (DDR4), go with either AMD Ryzen or Intel Coffeelake S, either would be a substantial upgrade over your FX CPU.

Budget?

Your CPU is holding back your GPU performance at 1080p resolution. You need to upgrade to a Ryzen 2 (or Intel Coffee Lake, whatever your preference) and hold on to that GPU. Of course this means a new chip, motherboard, AND memory. I would recommend Ryzen 2 since it will have a much longer upgrade path if you want to start out with a Ryzen 5 budget CPU and then later upgrade to a more powerful one in a couple of years along with a new GPU. Intel's history shows they only support chipset upgrades for about two years at most between generations.

So i was thinking about the i5 8600k. Also, do i really need ddr4 ram? What exactly is ddr4 ram?

Well i was thinking about getting the intel i5- 8600k. Would that be a pretty good place to start?

Yes, it's an excellent CPU. And you need DDR4 RAM. There were some Skylake motherboards that allowed you to use low-voltage DDR3 memory, but you don't have that anyway.

That would be a massive upgrade, just pair it with a good aftermarket cooler (Cryorig H7), Z370 motherboard for overclocking and at least 8gb DDR4 RAM.
