Sooo my pc is around 3-4 years old and my cpu has been hitting temperatures of around 50 degree celsius at idle and 100 degree celsius while gaming. So I am not sure if i should
a.) Get an aftermarket cooler and thermal paste (currently running on stock cooler and no thermal paste)
b.) Get a new cpu as I realised that my cpu is a bottleneck for my gpu
c.) Get a new motherboard + cpu
d.) Get a new motherboard + cpu + aftermarket cooler

My Pc Spec
Motherboard: Asus H87 PLus
Cpu: i5-4570 3.2 Hz (No overclock)
Gpu: Palit Jetstream Gtx 1060 6gb (No overclock)
Memory: 2 X Kingston 8Gb DDR3
Storage: 2 X 1TB Western Seagate HDD (Not sure what model)
PSU: CoolerMaster 700W ATX 80+ bronze

if I were you I would simply get an aftermarket cooler, your system is pretty balanced and the cpu should be fine for a while , it shouldnt really bottleneck a gtx 1060. It's possible due to heat issues the cpu throttles and thats why it bottlenecks.

The stock cooler comes with applied thermal paste so there is paste on it. Or did you remove it??? Anyway get an aftermarkter cooler and you will be fine.
Something like a hyper evo 212 or the Hyper tx3 evo (is the one I use for my i7 4790 and does a perfect job.) :)
