i have a 1060 6gb and i'm about to upgrade my cpu,board and ram. i currently have 8gb drr3 and i'm wondering if the performance will be a lot better with the new parts. i5 8400,z370 board and 16 gb ddr4 2400mhz. mostly play pubg and similar games. also a new ssd as i only have a hdd
 
Solution
Its not going to be as drastic as a GPU upgrade would be (for example, but you already have a solid GPU), but if you arent getting the performance you want out of your processor you will notice the difference.
