Should I upgrade my CPU, motherboard or PSU?

[MeguminCrimson]

Specs:
Operating System: Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit SP1
CPU: Intel Core i5 4670K @ 3.40GHz
RAM: 16,0GB Dual-Channel DDR3 @ 666MHz
Motherboard: ASUSTeK Z87-K
Graphic card: 4095MB NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070
PSU: 650w something??

I am curious about whenever it would be best to upgrade CPU, motherboard or PSU to boost FPS, and if upgrading CPU will mean I should upgrade my PSU or motherboard as well.

You have a really good CPU and really good card (btw, the card have 8GB VRAM, not 4GB).

What is your problem? Which resolution you're playing? Refresh rate?

Your CPU is probably bottlenecking your GPU https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1EQOWVLxk0DOFXKfzCmz9lEZ-qpMb7mIvt8KUYek69A8/edit#gid=0

You could just drop an i7-4770k/4790K into your current setup and see a big increase. Have you tried OC'ing your current chip?

I have very low FPS in some MMORPG games, 16-17 FPS. My refresh rate is 60hz and resolution is 1920x1080. I also have some PC freezes in FPS games such as R6. My whole PC freezes for a good 10 sec. so sound stops and starts up again.

Haven't tried OC'ing. Since it's only in some games, then maybe you are right about CPU bottlenecking.

Well a lot of people say they can get your 3.4GHz CPU stable up at over 4GHz so it's worth a try, as you can see that is quite a jump. Of course you should do it in increments, and keep a v v close eye on temps, but it'd be interesting to know if it makes a difference. Its def the cheapest way forward!

Could it be my ram??

Not 16GB DDR3 no. Not unless there's a problem.

My cousin says that 666Mhz is low for ram and I should get 2133Mhz at least.

You have 1333MHz RAM not 666. It's Double Data Rate. You can only get DDR4 @ 2133MHz. Your board supports DDR3. Its a good sign you shouldn't listen to your cousin..

I will try upgrading to a i7-4790k.
