Upgrading CPU and Effects to GPU

[mjurado863]

Ok so I was wondering. I currently have a gtx 1060 6gb and a i5 7500. I often get cpu bottlenecks on games such as BF1, Assassin's Creed Origins and other high CPU usage games. Well I want to upgrade my cpu soon to a i7 7700k to remove cpu bottleneck at 1080p 60fps on those games. Anyways, what I want to know is will upgrading a cpu benefit games that are not bottlenecked by the cpu such as Witcher 3 or other gpu intensive games that will hit 100% gpu load. If so is the increase in fps due to cpu upgrade minimal?

It will improve performance over all and make almost every game just slightly better. But it will do little to overall game play. Games which are not cpu bound on a i5-7500 will not play appreciably better on an i7-7700k. What will make more of an impact is clean out all your temp files our of %temp% and %windir%\temp. Don't run programs in the background, especially programs like CHROME. If you are planning on still running memory-pigs in the background, consider an upgrade to 16gb of ram to off-set that some.

There are lots and lots and lots of "tuning your PC for game play" tutorials out there.
There are even more reviews of the two processors you are talking about and they generally include comparative benchmarks, so you can get the measured difference and not just my(and others) opinion on the differences

Yea I didn't list specs. Sorry. Here tjey are with a bot of extra info.Nov of 2016 I "borrowed" 2700$ to get one of the new MSI gt73vr 6re titan laptops. I never owned one before. Only desktops so when it came I was blown away how amazing it was. Thing was heavy n big w a 17” screen, well a few days after having it I was having crash after crash. All different bsod would pop up. So I called the builders Computer upgrade kings cuk and msi. We did a few different things hoping it'd fix it. Like a bad display driver or something. So I went through a few WEEKS trying to get it fixed. CUK even did a few remote accesses on it. I I got it last year the last week of October and I spent November and half a December calling Amazon and see UK Daily so around the 15th of December I sent it RMA. Cuk actually sent a letter with the laptop telling them that it was a faulty graphic card because I'd be playing and I would have black lines vertical lines up and down the screen it look like a shirt with just different thicknesses of black lines. So MSI I got it and I kept checking on my RMA and it took them two days to have it back in the mail to me and when I got it I was having the same issues. So it was over there one month return policy but because I was in contact with them all the time I mean I would have probably 10 emails everyday back and forth between them they gave me a full refund. Then I saw that cuk made a desktop Tower that had way better specs than the laptop but it was just the tower. I bought a tower off Amazon built by CUK (computer upgrade kings) same as I did w Laptop and its been running like a champ. The tower had a pretty amazing specs came in a Corsair carbide spec-alpha case which is one of those pretty crazy futuristic-looking ones, has Windows 10, i7 kaby Lake processor, 32 gigabytes of teen group Vulcan Ram, MSI z270 gaming Pro carbon motherboard, 4tb sshd (hybrid hd, whatever that is), and a 512gb intel M.2 NVMe PCIe mobo drive. It did have a GTX 1080 8gb MSI Aero GPU which I sold because I lost my job and needed a little bit of money so I bought a GTX 1050 instead for $140 and kept the other $350. Now the GTX 1050 is only 4 gigabytes of vram and I want to upgrade to at least 6gb. I have about 350 bucks and I see that EVGA makes a 1060 for about $270 and the PSU that came with this isn't modular so I want a modular PSU and I plan on getting a EVGA Supernova 550 gold of fully modular which is only 80 bucks. Ppl keep telling me to wait til these new Nvidia cards drop in the 1st half of 2018.

The only issue is I never have $350 right now and for a long time to upgrade my PC so do I just get the EVGA 6gb sc gaming and the modular PSU and be done w it OR should I wait and deal with it for a while longer and get this instead?
