I know this is kind of down to personal opinion and what not but I need to know if it will be worth it or not.

I'm obsessed with buying things for my pc and swapping components etc so don't know If I'm just trying to convince myself to spend money.


My current build is:

Intel i7 4790
16gb 1600mhz ddr3 ram
GTX 1060 6gb


I have been considering 'upgrading' to this build for a while:

AMD Ryzen 5 3600x
16gb 2666mhz ddr4 ram
GTX 1060 6gb (to a 1080 in the first few months of next year)

I put upgrading in quotations cos I'm curious how much performance boost I can expect to see.

Will it be worth while? Or am I just upgrading for the sake of it.

I mainly use my pc for gaming, top game being modern warfare atm and get a solid 75 frames on average.


Would just like some advice if possible.

Thanks,
Josh
 
Solution
If you're sticking with the 1060, the 3600 will only get you a couple more fps. Stick with what you have and when you're ready to look into a better gpu, then switch platforms.
