Hello everyone.

I've owned my computer for several years and would like to improve its gaming performance by upgrading some parts. I primarily play Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, Warzone, and other multiplayer titles like PUBG and Rainbow Six Siege.

Here are my current specifications:
MSI Nvidia GeForce GTX 960 2GB
Gigabyte Z170 K3 motherboard
Intel core i5-6600k processor
16gb Corsair RAM (Vengeance, I believe)
Corsair H115i water cooler

I’m considering upgrading to:
Intel core i7-9700k processor
Nvidia RTX 2070 Super graphics card

It’s been a long time since I last worked with PCs, so I'm curious whether these upgrades would significantly boost my frame rates and if any additional components need to be updated to avoid performance limitations or explore alternative solutions.

Thank you,
Adam

What’s a reasonably priced option that won't cost too much?

Furthermore, will those two enhancements significantly improve my results?
