GTX 950 Not Performing to its Standards.

If I get a better Processor will it boost my frames? Because right now I have a 3.50GHz and 8.00GB of ram. If I buy more ram and an i5 or i3 will my frames improve?

What FPS are you getting in what game with what settings? Most likely you're just seriously confused about the actual power of the 950 (not particularly great actually, especially in modern games)

In CS:GO. I watched a guys video and he had the same gpu and ram, but instead he had a Intel i3. He was getting on average 210 FPS on max settings and I was getting on average 150. Never even topped 200. So that's why I was asking, does more ram and a better processor give you more frames?

Don't bother with csgo, it's high fps do absolutely nothing to help you!

Yes a faster CPU can increase your framerate IN THAT GAME, but it's never worth the additional cost.

Are we talking a small or big difference?

What other games do you play? Because if CSGO is the most demanding game, then why spend money to get frames you can't even use?
BTW, what CPU do you currently have?

Difference in what? FPS? Or it's benefit for you?

In Unturned it is the same case. I average 40 FPS max settings when I should be getting at least 50 or 60.

FPS.

csgo should be playing at >60fps on that system, so you won't see any significant improvement in gameplay. Sure the fps number will increase, but if you're already above the monitor refresh rate any more won't mean squat!

Okay but my main question is will buying more ram and a better CPU boost my frames a lot?

Ram? not unless you have <4GB already installed.

FPS? not really, at least not by a "significant" amount
