Hello everyone!
I am running a GTX1060 with 6 gigabyte of vram which is overclocked around 20%
Also I have an i5-6600k , a hyper 212 evo from coolermaste as well as 16gb of ddr4 2400mhz ram and a 630W power supply.
My mobo unfortunately only is a b150m night elf from MSI and now im wondering wether its worth the work of reinstalling windows, reformating the drives and just in general put in a z170 board instead (which will also cost like 100-160$ to get one).
or should i just wait a bit and then get a ryzen 5 1600x and a decent mobo aswell as another 8 gig ram stick to increase my performance.
im doing a lot of editing and my cpu never bottlenecks me there but in some games it really does because of the low clock and only 4 cores.
Except for games like the witcher 3 and gta V or project cars , mafia 3 (games that either have insane graphics - witcher 3 - or are poorly optimized for pc - gta, mafia) i can run all my games with 60+ fps at maxed settings but now in battlefield 1 my cpu kinda bottlenecks me and even when turning some of the graphic settings lower (like shadows, which are one of the most cpu intensive effects) i still drop to the 56s or so like very very damn rarely from time to time because my cpu is a bit of a bottleneck at base clock.
also i have vsync enabled so perhaps battlefield 1 has bad vsync support - i dont know that.
Now my question: what should i do now ? i also wanna be able to play upcoming games in maxed or nearly maxed settings in the future though but dont want to spend a lot of money right now cuz im kinda broke.
