Is it worth to upgrade my cpu?

Hi guys,

So recently I have upgraded some of my computer components and I was thinking if is it worth to upgrade my I5-6400 2.70ghz to another cpu?

Budget is about 250€.
My computer specs:
Gtx 1060 windforce oc edition 6gb
Hyperx 8gb (2x4)
H110M-A (LGA1151) motherboard
PSU Chieftec iARENA GPA-500S8 500W

Wait until we know more about 8th-gen Intel Coffee Lake. They're supposed to have hexa-core i5 possibly compatible with current LGA 1151 chipsets (w/ BIOS update). In the mean time with your 6400 you should only see CPU limitations in CPU intensive games.

so long as all you're doing is gaming(at 1080p), then that cpu is fantastic. if you're doing more than gaming, at the same time, then adding more ram might/likely be more useful. you don't mention your storage, so I can't comment on that. Lastly, that PSU is an unknown to me, it's not listed on PSU tier chart and I know nothing about it. Before you start having serious issues related to a bad PSU, I would consider putting in a high quality PSU(http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/id-2547993/psu-tier-list.html), a tier 2 or higher off that list and putting your current unit into reserve. For 250euros, you can replace that PSU with a good unit and double your ram. I know it's not as sexy as a new CPU, but your mobo won't allow over clocking and that current CPU is top shelf.

dudmont,

Well I'm only gaming on that pc and other casual stuff etc facebook, watching twitch and youtube. I was already thinking about upgrading that psu. It costs around 30€ in my country If we are talking about storage I have wd hdd blue 1tb and kingston ssd 240gb. And Ill take a look on upgrading those rams

Cant reply normaly cuz atm I'm using my phone

don't worry about using your phone. you have a good storage setup, so need to worry about that. I'll stick with my previous reply on what upgrades would make sense for you. Have fun.
