Hello! I used to own a GTX 1060, but I had saw someone selling a 1080 for $400 around summer last year. It was such a good price I had to sell my 1060 and pick it up if you guys are wondering why I have a weak CPU for a 1080.
I play OW in 1080p 144hz and a couple other games like Mass Effect Andromeda, TW3, etc. and at times my cpu reaches at 100% usage. So I get really annoying stuttering as of recently. I understand that it's time to upgrade my CPU but i'm not sure which path I should go for. I have a locked motherboard by the way. I'm not sure if a 4770 or 4790 is sufficient enough for a 1080. Or if I should completely upgrade and buy a ryzen 1600 or 1700, DDR4 ram, and new mobo.
The reason i'm wondering is because I was suggested to hold out another year until the 2nd gen Ryzen or whatever they're called is out and I should upgrade to that but at times I can't enjoy my games with stuttering. So I should I spend $200 for a 4770/4790 and would that be enough until the next gen ryzen comes out?
