or he upgrade on better generation intel 8/9 th or Amd ryzen series 3xxx
he's mainly gaming Rainbow Six seat, Rust, FFXV, Gta V, rust , conan exil on 1080p in 27" in ultra quality


Configuration:

Cpu: intel core i5 6400 + rad stock

Cm: MSI H110m-pro VD

budget?

budget?

exactly. (and dont upgrade to 6XXX series, they are obsolete at this point)
7700 is ~220$ away and will yeld mediocore boost.

if you have ~500$, you can go for new mobo and cpu, and get a lot more, but for games you want to play, there would not be any noticable differences.
that's given you dont want to play cyberpunk, 7700 may strugle to give you ultra on that game.

I just leave it with you:

I would be getting rid of that PSU, for a quality one, before doing anything else. A gtx 1080, with a CX 500, is just asking for trouble. What speed is that ram?

 

[Syncemaster]

memory installed

Kingston 8GB 1Rx8 DDR4 2133MHz Desktop RAM 9905622-058.A00G KVR21N15S8/8 8

I would get new ram, in proper dual channel, then too. Single channel can be a performance killer, in games. Assuming case is compatible here.

3600 vs i5 8600k real différence in 1080 / 2k

because i have 8600k @ 4.6Ghz with + z370 strix f gaming + dark rock pro 4 and gskill trident z @ 3000mhz rtx 2070

i change my configuration fior help my brother

The 3600 is superior in modern titles. The 6 core i5's can suffer from frametime variance, which can cause stuttering, that the 3600 does not, due to having SMT, aka hyperthreading. Said titles are even making quite a bit of use, of the extra threads, of an R5 3600.

What I'd do right now if I were you:
- replace PSU - Corsair ones from these last few years are utter crap
- replace mobo + CPU : a nice B450 motherboard and a Ryzen 3600 (X or not) would g a long way
- add a new stick of 8 Gb DRAM with better specs than the current one to enable dual channel and get +15-20% more oomph
What I'd then do later :
- get a new RAM stick, same model as above, to clock the whole system higher and gain 3-7% more performance.
- reassemble the older Intel system in a scrap case with the old PSU, throw a cheapo SSD in it and make it a backup PC - or sell it for a few bucks at a yard sale.

it's possible my 6400 and 1080 bottleneck ? in some games ?
