[SOLVED] Cpu Upgrade

[Iosks]

Hi so i was wondering...what Ryzen cpu would be the best for my RTX2060
I own a I5 7600non-k but this CPU is bottlenecking my GPU. So i would be really happy if someone could help me find the best CPU for my GPU.
My PC specs:

RTX 2060 FE
I5 7600non-k
Strix b250g gaming(this mobo would be replaced)
8gb ddr4 RAM

Oh and what mobo should i buy for it? Under 150€

You could upgrade to an I7 7700, or a Ryzen 5 2600. It won't limit the RTX 2060, having 3x the amount of threads as your I5.

I have a i7 6700 non K an an gtx 970 with 8gb of ram looking to upgrade but not break the bank. any thoughts? I have looked into upgrading ram to 16gb an buying a aftermarket water cooler for the gpu (id-cooling 55$) to help extend the life. but want to see what else I can do for motherboard an cpu if it worth doing a motherboard, cpu, ram upgrade intead. any ideas an suggestion is great. thanks

Id grab a gtx 1080 and 16gb ram

How long would a 1080 last me?

A GTX 1080 can handle games with ease. If your CPU is not bottlenecking it than you should be set for like 2 to 3 years.

atm I have a i7 6700 non-k..but I want to get something long term an atm it might be better to get a 2070 as I looked a 1080 up an there higher priced then the 2070

yeah as i said i just bought a rtx 2060 and the cpu is a huge bottleneck for my rig. So upgrade your cpu... and the 2070 is a great card with good features so maybe it would be a better investment... But thats a personal prefrence.

A 6700 is much faster than a 7600. Confusing naming right? The 6700 is a 4c/8t chip that has pretty high clocks and can handle a gtx 1080 in 90% of games. The 7600 is a 4c/4t cpu witb modest clocks that can handle about a 1070 at max, although it will struggle in thread dependent games.

im thinking of upgrading to a ryzen 5 2600 as its cheep an better for gaming as I don't do anything else really. thought about the x variant but from what I can tell the non x is better

 

[NightHawkRMX]

Non-x is slower but much cheaper. When the 2600x and 2600 are equally overclocked they perform the same.

I here the x doesn't overlclock much.. is that true or is it worth getting the x an still overclocking it?
this is what im looking at atm https://pcpartpicker.com/list/XXrvq4.. keeping the 970 an buying a aio water cooler for it to make it last longer then next year get a new gpu.. I just don't know if it worth getting that or just going with new ram an the aio for the gpu..

 

[NightHawkRMX]

The 2600x and 2600 are pretty much the same cpu, with the x having higher stock speeds. They both overclock to simmilar speeds at 4.0ghz.id buy the cheaper 2600 if your going to overclock watercooled. That setup looks good. Id buy an aircooler rather than the 120mm aio. If yiu want watercooling go for a 240mm at least.
