CPU upgrade advice

[stavros58]

I am thinking of upgrading my CPU as the CPU is now 6 years old Intel Core i5-3570K 3 gen although the mobo was replaced about 2 years ago by Asrock even though it was out of warranty, I just paid postage, very impressive. Given I am now running a Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1080 G1 GPU upgraded from a GTX 970 eight months ago. I'm thinking I should be able to get a significant performance upgrading to the Intel Core i5 9600K 3.7GHz and a decent Mobo and 3000 mhz 16 gig memory. Would this be the case or am I better waiting a bit for the next gen CPU or is my GPU being seriously bottlenecked by the CPU, Mobo and Memory. The type of games I play are Driving sims F1, Project cars etc. Battlefield series, TombRaider, Cod WW11 etc. It is quite hard to gauge if you have nothing to compare against so I'm hoping someone has a clearer idea of the benefits, all the games seem to play fine and make good use of the 144hz 1920 x 1080 monitor. My specs are as follows:

Computer Specs
Intel Core i5-3570K 3.40GHz SKT1155 6MB Cache (overclock 4.2)
ASRock Z77 Extreme6 Motherboard (Socket 1155, Intel Z77)
GPU Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1080 G1
Corsair CMZ8GX3M2A1866C9 Vengeance 16GB (4 x 4 GB) DDR3 1866 MHz (Overclock 2133)
Evo 250gig 840 + Evo 500 gig 850 + Western digital caviar black 1TB
Cooler Master MasterLiquid Pro 140 CPU Liquid Cooler
OCZ Fatal1ty Series 750W Semi-Modular PSU
AOC g2460Pqu 24-Inch Style Widescreen LED Monitor (1000:1, 350cd/m2, 1920 x 1080, 1 ms) 144Hz Refresh Rate

Thanks Stavros

You could get a 9600k, z390 mobo, and 16gb or ddr4 and see a good performance increase. I would also suggest you could get a ryzen 5 based platform for less money and get simmilar performance. The 9600k has no hyperthreading so it has 6 threads.

I have the same CPU as you.

9600K would outperform a Ryzen 5. Not by 50% though (cost difference).
Can you wait till July for Ryzen 3xxx CPU launch?
