[SOLVED] What CPU is a great pair with my GPU?

[horvatovikj.karlo]

As of right now i'm running:
8Gigs of DDR3 RAM ( Single Stick )
A single GTX 1060 ( 6GB )
My current processor is an i3 - 4150 3.50 ghz

I already run most games at 60fps but i'm looking to record at 60 as well. Right now i'm dropping to an average of 40 fps while recording games like Fortnite.

for streaming, you'd be wise to start your search with an R5-2600 or 2700, each with plenty of threads for gaming with simultaneous streaming/recording, etc...

Naturally, the 8700K with 6c/12 threads is also adept at anything gaming...; I'd assume the 8 core/8 thread 9700K also does well...

If you want to your mobo also then Ryzen 5 2600 will be good option, if not get any i5 or i7 which support your MOBO

If you stay with your current motherboard I would not bother with an i5, it’s not enough of an upgrade. It’s i7 or completely new platform.

I'd see if you can find a used 4790k, pop it on your current mobo and enjoy
