Hi, I'm having some issues at the moment, I just recently upgraded to a gtx 1070 Ti 8GB, I play a lot of games, but specifically I play Warzone the most and I'm still getting fps drops even at the lowest settings with this graphics card? Also occasional stuttering.

I suspect my CPU is bottlenecking it, because I'm pretty sure my card can handle warzone easily even on high settings and maintain steady 60 fps, and when I check the task manager I can see that the CPU utilization is at a 100% solely running warzone in the back.

System/Specs:

MOBO: B250M MSI
RAM: 16GB DDR4
CPU: I7600K at 3.80%, (not overclocked since my mobo doesn't have that function).
GPU: GTX 1070 TI 8GB
PSU: 600 WATTS

Should I get a newer motherboard that allows overclocking, or should I just swap to a better CPU, something like a i7 7700k? It's ridiculous that I'm getting fps drops with this system, so please let me know what you think since I'm not that tech savvy.
