Hi, I'm considering upgrading my system to get a bit more performance from gaming. I think my current bottleneck is my processor but I'd really appreciate some advise on whether this is correct and whether I would see a noticeable speed increase if I upgrade to an Intel Core i7-7700K (which I believe is the max CPU my current system will take). My current setup is below:
Intel Core i5-6600 Skylake CPU, 4 Cores, 3.3 - 3.9GHz
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 8GB Graphics Card
Asus Z170I PRO GAMING Motherboard
16GB DDR4 2133MHz Memory (2 x 8GB Sticks)
120GB Samsung 750 EVO Solid State Drive
