Hi,

I wanted to know on which component I need an upgrade, because I feel I'm lagging like a pig.

PC Spec:

MOBO: Acer Predator G3-605 (LGA1150)
CPU: i7 4770 @ 3.40GHz
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 950
RAM: 32.0GB Dual-Channel DDR3

I was planning for buying a GTX 1060 6go but I think I need another upgrade, because in a game like PUBG or R6 my cpu usage is running around 70% to 80%~ and while streaming it goes up to 100%..

Thank you for your answers. :)
 
Your cpu is still quite powerful by today's standarts, however your graphics card is on the weaker side. I would wait for a price GPU price drop and get a card that suits your budget well (perhaps a 1060 or 1070)
 


Thank you yeti_yeti but it's still quite powerfull even if my cpu usage is at 100% while streaming and playing ?
