Your system seems to be pretty good, there's not much you can upgrade, the GPU and CPU is the only thing I would upgrade, a Ryzen 7 1700 or 1700x would be a nice upgrade, also upgrading to a 1070, 1070 ti, 1080, or 1080 ti would also be a great upgrade

really, that depends on what you want to achieve. Thats a really decent gaming system. Will do great at 1080p 60hz with all the graphical eye candy turned on. If you are considering a monitor upgrade, then you could just get a new GPU.

You could add in 8gbs of ram, because a lot of games use over 8gbs, so 16gbs is the sweetspot now.

Apart from that the 1600 is a great CPU, and will drive any single high end GPU or SLI/Crossfire set up fine. It's also great at streaming whilst gaming, and gives great results.

Hi Jacob thanks for the reply.

I was thinking about that upgrade but it wouldn't serve me any physical upgrade as I only have a 1080p monitor.

I may just save up for a 1440p monitor.

Hey Keith thanks for your response.

Yeah its either a monitor upgrade or ram I think. I see we have very similar setup's, what is your voltage on your cpu and what are the temps like?

Ah ok, if you get that 1440p monitor you want more GPU rather than CPU as lower resolutions use the CPU more and higher uses GPU more, so try for something like a 1070 or 1070 ti

Ram would be first thing. Try get a matched kit (2 x 8gb) so it will work flawlessly. If you just grab another 8gb generic stick, it may not work. Even if you get the same DIMM you currently have, that may not work. Normally with a bit of tinkering around with timings and voltage you may be able to get them to work.

Depends on the monitor res. For 1080p the GTX1060 is perfect. For 120-144hz 1080p/1440p @60hz a GTX1070 or even a 1080 for some games. For anything above you need a GTX1080ti for max settings at @60FPS (4k res)

I've my CPU clocked at 3.9 @ 1.3v with temps now steady at about 72-75c on Prime95 Small FFT's for 8hrs. It's rock solid. I will prob push 4/4.1 but I may have to increse vcore to 1.35/1.37 which will defo push my temps up. But as long as i don't go over 80c then Ill be happy.

What about you, what voltage/temps?

So here's your upgrade path, more Ram, then a new monitor, new GPU, maybe new CPU eventually depending on what happens but your CPU should be plenty for now.

My clock is 3.7ghz @ 1.275 but after 15min blend test I get to 75 so another upgrade could be cpu cooler lmao

the blend won't give you max temps. be wary of that. Try small FFT's and see if your temps touch 80c. If so back of the OC or get a better cooler. The stock 1600 cooler is okay for a moderate OC. The chip is capable of more than 3.7 (theoretically) With a better cooler you could defo push 3.9 @ 1.3. Saying that 3.7 @1.275 is a good result for that chip on that mobo. As far as I know, the ASRoock B350's don't have LLC options, which can help with higher OC's, so your's is a good result.
