When I first built the pc I'm currently using, I used an h170 mobo with an i5 6500 cpu and a radeon rx480. Then I later upgraded to an i7 6700k and a gtx 1080. Keep in mind that I'm still using the same mobo; the h170. It runs certain games fine, like the witcher 3, overwatch at ultra 200% resolution at 1080p. But games like gta v, raim bow 6 siege, h1z1: king of the kill, black ops 3, all run HORRIBLY! I was just wondering why one day, and switched out my i7 with my i5, but this time the i5 was with the gtx 1080. It ran games WAY better! I'm quite frustrated at the fact my pc is doing this to me. I just want to know what I'm doing wrong here. Any help is and will be appreciated!
PC Specs:
GPU: nvidia geforce gtx 1080
Mobo: gigabyte h170m-ds3h
PSU: corsair cx600 80+ bronze
CPU: i7 6700k @ 4ghz
CPU Cooler: cooler master hyper 212 evo
RAM: 8gb ddr4 corsair vengeance @ 2400mhz
Monitor: Dell gaming monitor se2417hg
-I was thinking it would be the mobo that MIGHT bottleneck the cpu, but I didn't think it would.
-Maybe it's the PSU? Should I get a larger one?
-I bought another of the same stick of RAM to increase it to 16gb ddr4. But I don't know if it will help.
