Hi guys. It's Alex from BURMA.
My PC build up(right now) is
MSI bazooka,GTX970,LPX vengeance DDR4 2400MHz 8x2 , RMX GOLD CS 850,normal 1080p monitor 2ms with 60MHz and Skylake i3 6100.
And it all ok with it beuase i'm not a hardcore gamer . Just use FL studio most of the time and just sometime on JUST CAUSE 3 and other 3 core game like that.
But i've got GTX 1060 on my birthday.And i already asked the team that "can GTX1060 run safely with my CPU "and i've got the best answer for it.But but i wonder if i sold out my old MSI 970 GPU with around 160bucks or whatever. My question is" Is that Ok with that setting (my pc with 1060) or should i need to spend my reselling money from old gpu
(of cause i do sell my old i3 skylake too) ? Is that worth to change? Or just going with my present setting? A big different on perfomance between these CPU change?
Thanks guys.

Your changes will not do much.
A GTX1060 is only one tier higher in capability than a GTX970.
You would hardly detect the difference.

Similarly, a I3-6100 is a very good mid range processor.
In most of the games it is compared to in this review, it beats the I5-6600:

If you will have a bit of money to burn, I would suggest buying a ssd for windows.
It makes everything you do quicker and is a most satisfying performance upgrade.
