I currently have an i5-4570 with a 1060 6gb SC . Although I want your advice about upgrading either GPU or CPU to get more FPS in games I play (H1Z1 / BF1).

I don't plan to upgrade motherboard etc right now, but it seems like 4690k or even 4790k could be a somewhat gain regarding the CPU.


Also, would it be better to pick any 1070 card instead of the SuperClocked 6GB 1060 ? Or I won't see much of a difference in games .

I play 1080p - 60hz , nothing special here.


Thanks for clarifiying this.

Actually, you're not in danger of any bottlenecks with the GTX 1060 and i5-4570 (see GTX 1060 chart from the Ultimate Bottlenecking Guide).

You could definitely move up to a 1070, but on more demanding games your CPU WOULD begin to slightly bottleneck the 1070.

If you had to upgrade one or the other, I would personally recommend the 1070 as a stronger CPU wouldn't produce any better performance paired with your current 1060.
