Ideas to upgrade

[Rodrigo Leon]

Hello everyone!

I was thinking and analyzing the possibility of updating my pc a bit.

My current config is:

• 
  ■ LG Ultrawide Monitor 2560 x 1080
  ■ i5 6500
  ■ B150 Pro Gaming Aura
  ■ 16GB DDR4
  ■ GTX 1060 6GB
  ■ Seasonic S12II 520 Bronze

With the release of the new RTX the prices of the gpu begin to fall little by little, but I do not know if I should update the cpu first (motherboard included).

I was thinking about buying the following:

• 
  ■ Asus ROG Strix H370-F
  ■ 8th or 9th(release soon, I think) gen i5 or i7
  ■ New PSU maybe?

Should I buy an 8th (or 9th) generation CPU while I wait for the output of the gtx 2060?
If the gtx 2060 doesn't convince me I could buy a 1080 or 1080ti since its price would be lower.

Thanks!

The i5-6500 is still a good CPU and the 1060 6gb games well at 1080P. Is there any games your having trouble running or do you have money burning a hole in your wallet?

If you don't have one I'd highly suggest getting a 240+gb SSD or maybe even a monitor upgrade.

I have an ultrawide lg monitor, 2560 x 1080 (post updated, sorry), a lot of games doesn't run smoothly, like Assassin's Creed Origins, Batman Arkham Knight, Rise of the Tomb Raider, Talos Principle, Ryse: Son of Rome (yeah, this is an horrible port).
And I have a 4k TV, sometimes I set game resolutions to 3840x2160 only to see the details, or play old games (firsts Assassin's Creed, etc).

Ok so yea the 9th gens are rumored to be coming out the beginning of October but I think for the 9400/9500/9600 the only real difference is the slightly higher clocked speeds so waiting may be kind of pointless. If you have the budget then the 8700(K) would be a good upgrade.
