Hello, I will be upgrading my PC at the end of the current year and I would need some tips. Currently I got

GF 750 2gb/Phenom 2 X4 965/8gb DDR3 ram

and I was testing it in regards to bottlenecking and it seems that in a lot of games (alien isolation, dirt rally, fallout 4, skyrim etc.) my CPU was around 80% while GPU was on 100 all the time... means GPU is my bottleneck here. To avoid this in the future I would like to upgrade parts that fit better together. I was doing some research and I was wondering about:

Radeon RX 570/Ryzen 5 1600X/8GB DDR4.

Obviously I'm looking into more mid-range PC then anything else. THis CPU got 6 cores but I was wondering if I should pick 8 cores Ryzen 7 for more future proof build but wouldn't bottleneck my CPU with GPU that way?. I would appreciate some feedbacks.

Ryzen 1600 is better bang for the money and it comes with a pretty good cooler good for decent OC. Don't think Ryzen 7 is any future proof. Ryzen 1600 will not bottleneck even a 1080 ti. It also depends on the game you play, but 1600 should be sufficient with 1080 ti for 4k gaming with very good fps. Get a small SSD and large HDD combo to get fast speed.

Thanks for answers guys, I have one more question. Does having more then 6 cores actually helps with anything other the rendering, encoding and calculations? I saw some benchmarks and it seems that on dx11 games having 8 cores+ renders less fps then 6 and lower, while in dx12 it is only few frames faster then 6 cores and less. I usually change CPUs every 5 years (around) should I worry that games would take full advantage of 8 cores in this range of time? thanks!

Intel has new processors coming out about that time wait till their released supposed to be better priced than their current ones and with more cores.

To be honest its only 3 months and I would rather seek out for a good discounts on these components then some new tech :) Especially that I would rather make an amd build this time around.
