your gtx 1070 struggles with those titles even at max settings, so upgrading the GPU might be necessary.

Yes, those are GPU's game versions.

I understand from my brother's experience with 7400 bottlenecks on his 970 that you should look into purchasing an i7 7700 on eBay first.

The 1070 against current AAA games can be easily overwhelmed. What resolution are you using? 4K or 1440p? I also understand that Assassin's Creed benefits from a CPU with more cores and threads, so an i5 isn't sufficient.

Your CPU seems to be underperforming. It's unclear which YouTube video you viewed, but your system appears to be imbalanced, so upgrading the CPU could improve performance.

The 6400 fits well with the 1070, offering a balanced performance—neither too strong nor too weak. You can decide which component to upgrade first depending on your needs. If you're running many applications simultaneously, starting with the CPU makes sense, though you're mainly into gaming. For graphics, prioritize the GPU. Remember, ACO and SotTR can be challenging to run optimally without optimization.
