So, I have a
Prime B250M-A motherboard,
i5-7500 cpu,
gtx 1070, and
24 gigs of DDR4 ram
1 TB HD
250 gb SSD.
The cpu bottlenecks my games to the point where I don't even hit 15% gpu usage while my cpu is at 100% (I've had the cpu a while it's kinda old.) It makes most games linger at the 50-60 fps mark which is unplayable (to me) as I prefer fast paced fps and know what my gpu can do. I have looked at different cpu upgrades and all seem to be dead end upgrades since the motherboard doesn't support AMD or >7th gen intel processors. I don't really know what to do, so I'm here lul. If anyone has any suggestions for motherboard/cpu combos for manageable prices, or advice on how to configure my pc for better performance, etc etc, I'm all ears! Thanks in advance.
