Does my motherboard support this processor?
My motherboard is a gigabyte GA-Z97P-D3 and im looking to buy a intel i7 7700k. Would they be compatible?

Yes just grab a 4790K and you'll be good for many years still.

Yes if you change Motherboard to LGA-1151 or AMD AM4, all new gen stuff uses DDR4 RAM now. A bump up to 4790K would be great still for gaming and last you many more years, even if you bump GPU up to say 1080 Ti, it will still do great.

Bump up to around 16GB RAM if you can, and SSD + Win10 64bit

Do you need new CPU..??
It depends on the games you play and other hardwares of your PC. You can figure that out on your own..., install "MSI Afterburner" and see your CPU usage in the games you play. If it hits 100% usage but your GPU usage is much lower, means CPU is the bottleneck and needs more powerful CPU.

When your CPU usage is already much lower than your GPU, then you won't get any performance boost by swapping your CPU. In that case, if want more FPS, GPU is the one you should change first. And use Afterburner again to see how it matches with your new GPU...

That isnt technically correct, you will get better performance, but in this case a GPU upgrade makes more sense.

Yes, I know. Just making language simple. And noob friendly.

That's all he needs to know.

Then get 4790K + CPU Cooler + GTX 1070
An i5 is not going to handle such a GPU as this.

You make it sound as though it'd explode. Admittedly it wouldn't be an ideal situation, but it's not going to put the system at risk and it will run much better than it is now.

Well the GPU is a pointless upgrade without a good CPU to back it up with.
No reason the GTX 970 still wouldn't run everything OP wants to @ 1080p just fine.
Which is fine if not going to upgrade to better CPU. Pointless to upgrade GPU on that i5.

Why upgrade at all? I don't think it makes financial sense just yet, not if you're only bolting another i5 and another 70 series card into it.

What "other" i5? I suggested a 4790K

Plus 4790K is all one will need til like 2020 anyways. It's still on-par with 6700K/7700K in most Games. And as for GTX 1070, it's easily 2-3X better over any GTX 970
