i5 6402p to i7 2600k

[maurimcfly]

i get 90 fps on csgo with my 6402p on very low settings.My processor is slow i know but should i switch to a i7 2600k if so what cooler/heat sink do i use or do i choose another processor.I have a gtx 960 for a graphics card(i want to run gta 5 and csgo with more than 90 or 100 with maybe medium settings or high or maybe i3-7100 is another option i would choose?????

The i7-2600K is a completely different, older socket type than your i5-6402p. Perhaps you meant i7-6700K??

What GPU are you using? Your i5 should support a decent GPU to play CS GO.

Going from your 6th-gen i5 to a 2nd-gen i7 would be a side-grade, not an upgrade. You would get much better performance increase by simply upgrading to a GTX 1060. It is nearly double the performance of the GTX 960.

If you must get a better CPU, just upgrade to an i7 in your current socket/generation type. (i7-6700) but it wouldn't give you as much performance increase as a GPU upgrade to a GTX 1060 or better would give you.

*Your i5-6402p is better than an i3-7100.

i will try to get a msi 1060 if possible but will it make a noticable change because mt gtx cost around the price of the 1060

Even the GTX 1060 3GB is significantly better than the GTX 960.

Heads up csgo is heavily cpu bound I suggest upgrading the cpu instead of the gpu as you will get no better performance in csgo with it. Just get a 6th or 7th gen (update bios first) with a higher frequency. Also even tho the i5 is slower it should still get better fps that 90 even I got 200+ on high with my old fx 8320.

No you need a better GPU you are GPU bound not CPU bound

You can max out cs go on a hd 7770 and get 200fps. He is not gpu bound but cpu bound due to the lower clocked p version of the i5.
