Hello,
Recently it has came to my attention that thought my GPU may not be the most efficient for the job anymore, so I was looking into GTX 1080 with i7-3770k and 16GB - 2133 hz
and my build currently is:
i7-3770k 3.4Ghz (unknown to how high it is on clocked, as I never have clocked my CPU)
Nvidia Geforce 970 - 4GB - Gaming white
Hyperx Fury series 16GB (2x8) DDR3 1866MHz
250GB SSD - 1TB HDD (might be buying extra)
and my BF1 runs below/around 60-80 FPS on medium/high while recording with the Nvidia Geforce recording software (it runs same even when not recording), Rise of the Tomb Raide runs around 20-45 FPS
I am going off by this video right now:
So, the question is, should I upgrade RAM and GPU and leave everything else as it is, or should I just build new one from scratch?

I have no money laying around, that's the thing, I have uncle who works as computer technician and he can order bunch of things with monthly fee, he gives me things with monthly fee because of my dad knowing him (which is good cuz he doesn't need 6 month banking info about earrings).
so, I am most likely gonna upgrade to 1080 which then I can later use for better PC if it comes to that, since if I already have GPU, I only then need power supply, motherboard, case, ram and cpu.

Instead of 1080 go for the newer GPUs like RTX 2070. Should be sufficient for 1080p gaming.
Thus, if you got the extra money. Upgrade a RAM with higher speed, ram speeds actually matter more than you think. I saw a video that a 2000something vs 3600 mhz can result in 10+fps difference.

I can't even put my RAM to 1866 as my CPU doesn't even support it, did the research after getting known about why the PC wouldn't turn on after putting it to 1866Mhz even when timings and all were set to its proper measures.
- Yeah, my uncle has an amazing deal for me, I'm getting the Geforce RTX 2070 AERO ITX 8GB
I play all sorts of games, from BF to Minecraft, so on and on, and on 1920x1080 currently, some games on 1600x1080 since my PC drops below 100 FPS.

you dont need to do any manual overclocking
graphics cards will run as fast as they can alone
that is automatically done and the cards will clock as high as long as they stay under 83C
so you actually get more power when the cards have bigger coolers cause that lets it run cooler and thus higher clocks can be achieved

Ah I see, he probably choose that because it was "cheaper" side of things, since he wants 20% before ordering, so in this case 115 euros, and then 42 euros for the next 12 months.
And, last night, I was doing other things like building a computer (without few parts like GPU, HDD/SSD) and I got about $605 worth of stuff, might have do redo it as I do not remember the names of the things except the CPU which was i7-7700k (which is an old cpu by 2 gens, but it was cheaper, in comparison to i7 9th gen.
