My current PC specs are below and while I'm getting some solid performance out it for gaming I was considering making an upgrade to see if I can get a little bit more out of it. With the current shortage of GPUs out there I was looking more at maybe a new CPU but I'm not really that savvy enough to really understand how much performance gain in gaming I would get if I went ahead and upgraded the CPU. My current specs are
CPU: i5 6600k
GPU: GTX 1070 GAMING X
RAM: Corsair Vengeance 16GB DDR4 DRAM 3000MHz
MOBO: ASUS Z170 A
PSU: SeaSonic G Series SSR-550RM 550W 80 PLUS GOLD Certified
Right now the CPU isn't overclocked and I was wondering if maybe I should look into doing that? Is a CPU upgrade necessary? Would I see a significant improvement if I upgraded that or would it be better for me to hold out and wait for a new GPU? Either way I want to upgrade the GPU when I have a chance but as I said right now I think I should maybe do a CPU upgrade in anticipation for a time when graphic cards aren't so hard to come by.
