I have an i5-2300 quad-core 3.1GHz processor, GTX970 graphics card and I've experienced that the fps is getting pretty low on a few new games, so I thought about upgrading the CPU since a lot of people said that was the solution. I mostly play The Witcher 3, Assassin's Creed Origins, Destiny 2 and Civilization VI. On medium settings, and overclocked cpu I reach about 60fps in most areas in the witcher 3, Civ VI and Destiny 2 (not stable), but when I play AC Origins I get around 45fps. The real question is: Which CPU would you guys recomend for my use? I just use my PC for gaming and youtube etc. No 4K nor 144Hz, just plain 1080p and 60Hz.
If there are any other tips on how to get more performance I would like to hear it.
