[SOLVED] Possible upgrades?

[joemcsk1]

Hello there, I’m looking to get some upgrades for my current build as not all games can perform well at 144fps for my monitor.
My build is as follows:

GTX 1080
Ryzen 5 2600
Asus b450 PRIME
Samsung evo 860 500GB
Seagate 1TB HDD
16 GB Corsair Vengeance 3200mhz Duel Channel

What resolution?

What resolution?

1080p

You could drop in a 3600 or 3700x after a BIOS update.

But I would recommend you try to wait till the 4000 are released. You'll get way more bang for your buck.

Do you reckon its the CPU holding me back?

At 1080p the cpu becomes the "bottleneck". SO yes, a faster cpu would help.

Alrighty, I appreciate it!

Make sure you update your BIOS as suggested by the manufacturer before installing a 3000 series cpu.
