Mark RM Admirable Jul 16, 2014 2,658 1 7,960 Dec 17, 2017 #5 Your next step up for more frames that you will will really feel is a GTX 1070, bypassing the RX 580 and GTX 1060 as not enough of a difference. The CPU is fine how it is. Upvote 0 Downvote

The CPU is fine how it is. CSGO is almost purely CPU demanding though I was thinking the Intel Core i7 7700K would be a good upgrade along with a fitting motherboard, no? Upvote 0 Downvote

Well 144fps vs 300fps feels alot different. But yeah I guess getting higher minimum frame rates would be nice. Upvote 0 Downvote
