[SOLVED] What upgrade should I go for ?

[Pap David]

I curently have an I5-7400 and a GTX 01050 Ti OC . I am able to run most AAA games on 1080p medium at 60+ fps altough in some games I am experiencing some stutter , especially in The Division 2 . I want to upgrade eithet my CPU or my GPU . For the GPU I would go for a 2060 6gb and for the CPU an I5-9600k
What do you guys think ? Can anybody help me choose ?

Upgrading to that CPU would also mean a new motherboard. Might be an idea to state what sort of budget you're working with.

What is your budget?

What is your ram config?

Around 400$

My budget is 400$ and I currently have 2x8 gb of ram running at 2666 mhz in a dual channel config

AMD like fast memory, so your current RAM is kind a No! for this first build.


If you still wana buy a 9600K, this is what I would get (Keep in mind, you can save around $69 by going with a cheaper mobo, for example the basic, yet very decent Gigabyte Z390UD):

CPU: Intel Core i5-9600K 3.7 GHz 6-Core Processor ($199.99 @ Best Buy)

In this last choice, you use your current RAM.


Cheers

Those are fair suggestions by RodroX. While faster RAM for the Ryzen system is better it is something you could plausibly upgrade later; but as it is that is still within your stipulated budget.
