Best cpu upgrade from i5 6500?

[gardendata61371]

My bro says I should upgrade to a i7 7700 but judging by this https://cpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Intel-Core-i7-7700-vs-Intel-Core-i5-6500/3887vs3513 i don't think it's worth it.

At current, no CPU upgrade is worth the cost.

Ok first : If you like to play triple A games an upgrade to 16gb system memory and an i7 7700 would be a night and day difference for high refresh rate gaming. However for esports titles like csgo, league of legends, world of tanks and non demanding games at 1080p I would just go with the system memory upgrade.
Second: If that AOC Monitor is only 60hz then that means you only need to push your hardware to hit between 60-80 frames per second to get optimal performance. If that's the case, just upgrade the system memory and see if you hit that fps target with the games you play.
