so i have a long question:
i have this setup: amd fx 6300 @4.2ghz; nvidia gtx 1060 6gb; 16gb ddr3.
many people will tell me that the gpu is bottlenecked by the cpu, however overclocking it to 4.2 ghz (air cooling - 212x) actually made the combo a good working one, with the gpu always being at its max and the cpu almost always lower than 90%.
i would like to change the cpu though (even if i bought it june of last year) and change it to some of the newer ryzen cpus or even intel ones (depending on the cost).
my question is: should i get ddr4 ram + new motherboard and cpu ryzen or intel (which would cost me around 400€ i think) OR should i buy any cpu that can support ddr3 ram (like the 4690k/non-k from intel, which would cost me around 300€ as i already have the motherboard)?
Edit: Yes, i know i'll have to change the motherboard, thats what im actually looking for.
i think i will better off waiting for new hardware to come out so that the actual hardware will come down in price and get a ddr4 compatible motherboard, while also selling out the cpu, motherboard and ram i already have.
btw i live in italy
Edit #2: i dont have the motherboard for any intel socket (i only have fm2 and am3+ ones), but i am considering buying one in the future (like fall 2017) and this is what i was thinking if the hardware still performed well and would have come down in price:
Intel core i5 6500 (or 7500, depending on the cost i will find)
MSI H110M Pro-VD
G.SKILL 8GB ram @2133 Mhz [2x4]
