Hey, I have an old HP desktop with a gtx 1060 6gb and I want to upgrade my slow i5 3470 to a better processor, don't need to go crazy and used is fine, bout 150 bucks max but less is better. What should I use?

GTX 1060 6GB
Intel Core i5 3470 @ 3.20GHz
16,0GB Dual-Channel DDR3

For your CPU socket (LGA 1155), the Core i7-3770k looks like the "best" processor you can get. And, here is a page showing a detailed performance comparison between your current processor and the 3770k: https://cpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Intel-Core-i7-3770K-vs-Intel-Core-i5-3470/1317vs2771

It is currently going for $224 refurbished here: https://www.newegg.com/intel-core-i...70k&cm_re=i7-3770k-_-9SIA77GA148923-_-Product but you could find it cheaper elsewhere, perhaps ???

That said, if I were you, I would just save the $150 towards an entirely new PC as yours is quite outdated at this point and I don't know if this is a worthwhile investment. I don't know if the performance boost the i7-3770k gives you would be good enough to justify the money

Cheers !
