Best option IMO is to buy a used 3770k, which you should be able to find for £150. Add this SSD;

Sell the 1050Ti for £100, and then you can use the £500 for a GTX 1070 or 1070Ti. Also, maybe add another 8GB RAM if you can.

Here's a 3770k for £125;

You can find 2x4GB of DDR3 for £25 easily, so £200 for the CPU, and RAM upgrade to 16GB, plus the OCZ SSD. That leaves you with about £400 and at that point, your GPU is the only thing holding you back. You can get a GTX 1070 for around £400, or you could sell your 1050Ti for around £100 and get a GTX 1070Ti for £450, maybe a GTX 1080 for around £500.

the reason i said £600 is because i thought i had to get a new motherboard, ram etc, literally everything new, so im happy that a decent cpu actually fits and i wont have to change much around.
