Hey dudes, I have a question that keep scratching my back...I play all of my games at 1080p and im getting really good performance from my i3 paired with my gpu, my cpu isnt even getting maxed out while game it is usually around 60%-75%, Should i worry about upgrading my cpu to a i5-4440 or higher? Or not....Thanks for any feedback.

i3-4170 3.7ghz
gtx 1060 6gb
250 ssd 1tb hdd
520 watt antec...

If the games you play arent maxing your cpu out, then dont bother.

If you are to upgrade, I would get a i7 4770/4790 or xeon 1231 v3 and skip the i5 all together, will give you more longevity before upgrading again.

Okay, thanks for your answer. I only play games and i have a tight budget when it comes to upgrading around this time....I will look around for 4770's but i will need to look for a new cooler i guess too. I still have stock, keeps cpu around 40c idle and 60c on load

you should not worry if you have no performance issues.
you might be playing games that are not CPU intensive, so your CPU does the job.
if and when you start playing game that needs more CPU -> upgrade to i5
