Hi,

I'm looking into upgrading my PC to gain a massive performance increase. At the moment I'm semi professionally playing games like Fortnite, CS:GO and Paladins being the former 2 the more demanding ones in terms of CPU and GPU.

My current set up is quite old (Almost 5 years) i7 - 3770k, 16GB DDR3 666Mhz, GTX 1070 Superclocked. According to http://thebottlenecker.com/#calculator I'm having about 10% bottleneck since my CPU is too old for my GPU. I run all my games and windows into a SSD.

I'm looking into upgrading to something nice (it doesn't have to be cheap but I don't want to throw money away either) so I'm thinking about getting either a i5 8400, RYzen 5 2700X or maybe getting something better like i7 - 8700k. Also I'd like to know what would be a good RAM for these cpus maybe 3000 or 3200 speed I don't really know. Also suggest a good board for this setup my budget is about 1500 USD.

Thnaks in advance!

If you want the best possible performance, then the 8700k with a decent Z370 Mainboard is your way to go :D

Buying an 8700k paired with 16gb 3000mhz Ram is like best of the best for expecially cs:go and you can overlock that puppy ;)
Ram, Z370 Mobo and the 8700k is possible with 1500 USD i think (im from Germany so im not 100% sure how prices are at you location)
