hey guys I currently have a intel core i5 4570 3.2 GHz and i barely play games like BF1 and most AAA titles at 40-50 fps(or even less :( ). Since I planned to play BF5 I know this CPU is a bottleneck! (I have a GTX 1060 so GPU is not a issue now)

Since im on a tight budget I need a decent upgrade for my CPU (I can manage to buy ddr4 ram and the relevant motherboard if I can manage the budget for my cpu)
My idea was, Is Ryzen 5 1500X is a good upgrade? (in terms of budget-wise) If you have any options please let me know

thanks in advance <3

I recommend the i7-4770. It should be able to handle just about any game you throw at it.

Make sure you do these before upgrading:
1. Identify your motherboard and make sure this CPU is supported by the chipset.
2. Make sure your motherboard BIOS is up to date
3. Buy some thermal Paste. I recommend Arctic silver 5. When applying the paste, you only need enough to cover the most of the center. Applying paste to corners is negligible for cooling. This CPU shouldn't have any issues with heat anyways.

Or of course, you could upgrade to a new motherboard with the Ryzen 5 1500X. But honestly, the performance difference would be about the same. If your budget is higher than this, then you could ignore my post or maybe you were wondering if you could get something even better....? ;)
