Ive got an i3 6100 (Skylake) and a gtx950. Should i upgrade to an i5 6600 or my gpu to a 1060 or something... I play games that arn't very graphically intensive, such as CSGO, Rust. But sometimes play things such as Dragonage : inquistion. Thanks in advance

It depends on the game you are trying to run. A game that uses 4 or more threads and uses each core heavily will bottleneck. To run DA the minimum CPU requirement is Intel quad core CPU @ 2.0 GHz even though i3 uses hyper threading I would upgrade my pc to i5.
