Hello guys

i need recommendations to upgrade my CPU.

Motherboard: asrock h61m-dgs r2.0
Ram:8gb
CPU: -- Pentuim G2020
GPU: GTX 1080 Ti
Windows 10

i just want to play PUBG,FORTNITE,CSGO,GTA IV at like 60fps if possible
i want to upgrade my CPU to a RYZEN 5 1600 but im not sure about compatibility with the MOBO.
my MOBO socket is like 1155(not sure what that is)
Some help and recommendations would be really nice

thanks guys

 
Your GPU will handle all modern games without breaking a sweat, just upgrade your CPU to preferably 3rd generation intel ( your motherboard supports both 2nd generation sandy bridge and 3rd generation Ivy bridge intel CPUs): an i5-3750 would have a very close gaming performance to a ryzen 5 1600.

This way you could delay for later a full platform substantial upgrade (motherboard + much more powerful CPU as with intel 8th generation CPUS) to take full advantage of your powerful GPU 1080 Ti capabilities.
 



not sure about the brand but its 500 watt power supply unit.

 
- Your motherboard asrock h61m-dgs r2.0 has no restriction on CPU power and could accommodate top of the line Sandy or Ivy bridge processors (i7-2600k or 7-3770k)
- Your power supply wattage is just enough for your system, only reserve is that the PSU has to be of a good quality: what is the brand and model of your power supply.
 


I dont really know atm ,its just some crabby china brand i got for like 20$USD at a sale 🙁
I guess I can spend like 50$ for a better power supply, how many watts should I get ?
