Hello everyone,
I need your help about should i buy new cpu or not. I got GTX1080 gpu , MSI Z170-A PRO mother board , 8GB DDR4 RAM , 1080pmonitor and my current CPU is i5 6500.. im using my PC just for playing games , should i get new CPU for better gaming experience or new CPU don't make the difference that worth to buy new one ?
Thank you,have a nice day.

I think it would depend on your screen resolution. Since your playing at 1080p. I am pretty sure you are fine with that cpu. If i had a gtx1080(i have a 1070) I would get an i7 7700k. You might have to upgrade the bios on that board to use that cpu though.

If your monitor is 60hz you won't benefit that much from a better CPU. The i5 6500 can easily push above 60fps. However, If you want to upgrade your monitor to a 144hz (or already have one), an i7 7700k is your best option.

Then i need to choose i7700k if i want to buy cpu..actually some games i playing (dark souls 3 , For Honor) i dont have any lag,its running very nice without going lower then 60 fps but some games (only tried Hitman) sometimes going down to fps like 45,when i check cpu and gpu usage from msi afterburner i see my cpu running at 100% and gpu like 50%..well then ill listen to you and keep going with my i5 6500 until games drag me buy new cpu.. And thank you so much for your answer Sir.
