Hi!
I have a i5-2500K that I OC to 4.5Ghz with an aftermarket fan running on a Z68AP-D3 Gigabyte motherboard (16gb ram) and sporting a GeForce GTX 1080. All self-assembled.
I have a feeling that my aged CPU might be becoming a bottleneck - I see amazing posts like this with worse graphic cards and I don't pull the same FPS.
What are some recommendations for upgrading? My main usescases are that are hardware intensive are code compilation (so multi-threaded workload) as well as gaming: Civ, Total War, space sims, and so on.
I appreciate any advice given!
