[SOLVED] Is the time for upgrade now?

[gogo7bg]

I have been using a FX-8350. Still a pretty good CPU for its price I think but I think its bottlenecking my 1060 6gb. Especially in games like The Crew 2 and GTA V. Like 40 fps in the cities (the crew 2) and 48-53fps also in cities(gta v). I was thinking about upgrading to Ryzen 5 3600 to be able to make future GPU upgrades. The mobo and ram is no problem tho....will ge them. But soon im starting to do things different from gaming. Like graphic designing and other stuff which i think will be stressing the cpu alot. So should i upgrade or stay with the old fx?

P.S.
Sorry for the novel.

It's definitely a good time to upgrade! The fx series was never particularly good, so the new ryzen chips will be a huge difference in performance. Especially if you're considering doing more cpu intensive workloads.
