Hi guys my current build is

i5-4590
GTX 1060 3GB
Asrock B85M Pro3
DDR3 C9 1600MHZ 4x4GB/ 16GB
Plextor M6S 128GB(Windows)

Ive noticed that my CPU is not performing really well, when i play PUBG for example it gets to 100% CPU usage on medium settings and get fps drops and lag spikes.

What would a good CPU upgrade and i dont really want to change the mobo or ram.

But if i have to i could set a budget for a new mobo/cpu/ram.
 
Solution
I would recommend it, on the basis of yours being poor quality. Looking at what is available, for you, this looks to be the best option, at 550w, or less. I just added it to my previous build list.

I say it's worth it. The Gaming pro carbon ac has good VRM's.

Tomahawk Max or Carbon AC. You choose. They are both good board. If you plan on buying the Ryzen 5 2600. If you're buying the Ryzen 3600 I recommend you buys the tomahawk max since it comes ready for the 3600 with a already patched BIOS to support the 3600. If you're going for the 2600 take the gaming pro carbon ac. Best B450 boards in my opinions.

Hi guys sorry to keep bothering. I just have a question about the ram. Amazon has long delivery time for the Ripjaws.

would the be a big speed difference between these ripjaws and

Corsair Vengeance RGB PRO 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4 3200 MHz C16 XMP 2.0 Enthusiast RGB LED Illuminated Memory Kit - Black
Or
Corsair CMK16GX4M2B3200C16 Vengeance LPX 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4 3200 MHz C16 XMP 2.0 High Performance Desktop Memory Kit, Black

thanks
