https://pcpartpicker.com/list/zzNQ2R This is what I'm working with right now.

I built this PC in February of 2016 and I've been thinking it's time for an upgrade.

I mostly play H1Z1 and recently PLAYERUNKNOWNS: Battlegrounds. I can run PUBG alright but I get constant frame stuttering with an average 40-50 frames, just looking to maximize performance over there. Then I want to play Destiny 2 when it comes out in September so I'm trying to upgrade now while I wait. Lastly I've been pretty big on twitch streaming the past couple months so I'm trying to maximize performance in that category as well.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Updated CPU and GPU. Make sure to update the BIOS to the F20 revision before letting go of the i3-6100, otherwise you will have problems as the Kaby Lake CPU won't work without the update.
