Should i upgrade my motherbord for cpu

[Raytier]

Hello these are my specs
Intel, Core i5-2500 (3.30 GHz, 6MB Cache, LGA1155)
Asus P8Z68-V/GEN3
Kingston, 8GB(4gbx2kit), DDR3, 1333MHz, CL9,
ZOTAC GeForce® GTX 1070 AMP Extreme

So i went nuts and bought a 1070, and i noticed my CPU is bottlenecking at 100% all cores.

My Questions
#1 Should i Upgrade my Mother bord with CPU
#2 and should i upgrade my ram to a better one (idealy i guess id like 16)

P.S Dont have tons of cash but i can scrape it together if its reasonable, and could last me a few years.

1. you're limited to ivy bridge without getting a new motherboard. If you're thinking of skylake/kaby lake, you need a socket 1151 motherboard.
2. Depends on your games, 16 GB will be good for futureproofing though.

you should be looking at CPU+MOTHERBOARD+RAM.

your CPU is relaly holding you back

you could try resell your old components, they are still useable to someone

An i7 3770 will be both faster and cheaper than an i5 7500 in recent games, and would work in OP's existing board.

However, OP, you state that your CPU is running at 100% in games, but does that mean you're getting low framerates too?

On CPU heavy games, hell yes like 20-30 fps at max while GPU idles from 30-60%. On games that focus more on GPU it runs relativity good with some rare min fps drops. I just want to invest now while i have the wiggle room with extra funds. I think il stick with what gussrtk purpoused and go with the new mbord, ram and cpu, as my stuff is old and try sell it off or give it to some relative. Thank you guys for the quick response i appreciate it.
