I have been rocking a 2600K system with 8GB RAM since 2011. A couple years ago my GPU died so I got a "good value" GTX 1050 with 2GB GDDR5 at the time. That rig can still play COD MW for my son but of course he is always interested in "more" and "better" whatever
I have been getting ready to scratch my own itch on getting a new mobo and CPU. Would get a Ryzen 3700X although have been waiting patiently for several months to see what is announced on Ryzen 4000 front.
My question is, what kind of lift would I get by JUST upgrading to a Ryzen 3700X or better, and using my current GTX 1050? Would the much faster and better CPU allow for much better graphics settings or will the 1050 still be the bottleneck?
