Performance for...? (gaming, productivity, media creation, etc.)
If gaming, which games? Please post the link to your userbench score. That will help.

Performance in gaming. I just adjust the ram speed from 2133 to 3200 and have updated results.

What power supply do you have? How is your computer case airflow? Have you cleaned the inside of the case recently? You may have a CPU cooling issue. Your CPU isn't boosting at all.
Use tools like HWiNFO64 (sensors only) and GPU-Z to monitor your system performance while gaming.

I have a Corsair CX 550. The CPU is using stock cooler and the case airflow is all stock that comes with http://www.deepcool.com/product/case/2013-12/9_590.shtml#

I would Bump memory first as you will get cheapest and see able bump in performance. From web browsing to gaming to just general use. What games do you play AAA just released titles or ? Than down the road you can get a faster Graphics Card but as it is the 1060 is fine depending what you play.

I here Red Dead Redemption ll is a killer on cards soooo.

One last thing if you want to instantly feel like your computer is behind the curve run the userbenchmark test. Don't get me wrong I love there site for comparisons of this vs that. But more people come up looser's than winners even with great PC's on the full system test. Enjoy what you have is all I'm saying.

Destiny 2, Overwatch, Halo and LoL get most of my time right now. I appreciate the reminder not to jump just because a website says so.
