upgrading my cpu

[bishy76]

So im going to upgrade frame a i5 6400 to i5 8600k and am i wondering if it would be worth it im wanting to upgrade so i can get better fps in games like battlefield v because my pc is currently struggling to run it at 50 fps at 1440x900 when i want to be playing at 1080p. Also my graphics card is gtx 1060 3gb and i have 16gb ddr4 ram and i do know that i have to upgrade my mobo i plan on getting gigabyte z370p d3. If anyone has a better suggestion i would love to hear it.

Seems like it would be a great upgrade and leaves you room to upgrade the GPU in the future.

Awesome, thanks for the help one thing do you think it will be a big improvement in frame rate ive heard that bfv is very cpu intensive game?

It should help - I would clock it as high as you can. At 4.7ghz none of my cores are close to 100%. The gpu is limiting me at 1440p so imagine yours will at 1080p.

Run with DX12 off and try render ahead both ways and see. Can turn first two options to ultra then others to medium (or low) and see how that goes.
