Hey guys, this is my current PC. setup, it's getting pretty old now. I wanna play games like BF1, Titanfall 2, GTA 5, and Doom on high to medium settings. I'm planning on buying new parts on Cyber Monday, I'll have them down below, tell me what you think, thanks!
Current Specs:
Intel i5 4670k
GTX 760
NZXT Phantom
Corsair H105 Water Cooler
Corsair CX 600W PSU
G Skill. Rip Jaw 8GB
Future Upgrades:
GTX 1070
Corsair Air 240 (Easier to move my PC around)
Another G. Skill Rip Jaw 8GB
(Let me know if you think I need a 750W PSU to run this setup, also if my CPU is still good enough for these games)

What motherboard do you have? What storage have you got? What monitor, keyboard, and mouse are you using? What do you use your PC for, and what do you want to achieve with an upgrade. Your CPU is fine. You don't need a 750W PSU for a GTX 1070, but you should upgrade your PSU though. What is your budget and currency for upgrades?

I forgot what my motherboard is, it's an Asus one though.
I have about a $600 budget (hopefully I'll get a discount with Cyber Monday).
My mouse is a corsair raptor m45, monitor is a asus vg248qe, keyboards an cm storm quickfire tk.
I want to achieve a long period of time where I can play the newest games on high to medium settings.

$50 left so you can grab another 8GB RAM as well if you want. Nice new case, and a much better quality PSU. Also included a good SSD for you. GTX 1070 is totally unnecessary for 1080p. GTX 1060 6GB would be more than enough for you.

GTX 1070 would be a waste for 1080p. 6GB GTX 1060 would be a nice upgrade from a GTX 760 and the 1060 will be more than fine for 1080p. You never told me whether you had an SSD or not so I went off the assumption that you didn't. Still, I'd grab a 250GB 850-EVO. More SSDs never hurts and you can get some more games on an SSD that way. You never told us what motherboard you have so I don't even know if it's compatible with mATX cases, hence my ATX suggestion. The Eclipse P400 isn't a huge case. The Air 240 is pretty big for an mATX case so getting it to save space doesn't make sense.

Is your current board micro atx? If not then you'll have to get one if that matters, if not then a bigger case is needed
