Hello!
For around a week ago i bought a new GPU (MSI GeForce GTX 1060 Gaming X). Now afterwards i have noticed that my computer is bottlenecking it pretty hard, i also get high RAM and CPU usage when i play games which made me lagg. So i am thinking if buying some new components to improve my computer so it wont bottleneck.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The components i want to buy is:
Intel Core i5-6400 Skylake
HyperX Fury DDR4 2133MHz 8GB 2x4
MSI H110 PC MATE, Socket-1151
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
My current setup:
Cooler Master B500, 500W PSU
AMD FX-6300 Black Edition
Crucial DDR3 BallistiX Sport 1600MHz 8GB
MSI GeForce GTX 1060 Gaming X
Toshiba Desktop 1TB SATA 3.0
Gigabyte GA-970A-DS3P, Socket-AM3+
Windows 10 Home 64 bit
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So my questions i wonder is
1: Will it be a good upgrade, meaning will it bottelneck my computer?
2: Will 8GB 2133 MHz be enough for gaming or do i need to upgrade to 16 GB?
3: Can i use these components for a few years ahead or does it require a upgrade soon?
4: If this isnt a good upgrade, which one would be good for around 300$ (This is the price i get for this in Sweden).

Thanks in advance :)

I am reluctant when people mention the concept of bottleneck. What it means is that the component that I really like is slowed down by the other bits - whereas you could spin this around and say that I am squeezing all the juice out of my other components and am not stressing out the component that I like. Regardless....

I would hazard to guess that the slowest component in your system is the 1TB hard drive. Memory, bus bandwidth and CPU are all leveraged for managing data access and maintaining virtual memory and other core components. One of the best things you can do for any system is to make the OS drive as fast as possible - the extra bandwidth can then be leveraged by your tasks at hand.

To that end - I would suggest the...

To that end - I would suggest the first thing you should do is to purchase a sizable SSD - around 240GB. keep the other hard drive for data and rarely used programs. The SSD should house your OS and whatever 'game de jour' you wish to be playing.

If you need to replace the MB, CPU and Memory buy the fastest components available - as one of them will be bottlenecked (See above definition).

A higher end AMD CPU may give you a bit more juice - but you won't get much bang for the buck.

Good luck.

Okay thank you for your answer. I was actually thinking to buy a SSD 120 GB. I did planned to buy the SSD earlier then the CPU, MB and Memory. So i think i will stick to that plan and see later if i am thinking of upgrading it or if the SSD helped :)
