Thank you very much for your responses. I was scratching my head if I should wait a few years and do a full cpu/gpu upgrade. I will definitely look at the Zen 3 Ryzen 5 5600x.

Hi there, First time posting here, I hope I do it right. Could anyone give me some advice for a CPU/Motherboard upgrade and if it's worth it? Here are my specs: Motherboard: Asus p8z77-v lx CPU: I7-3770k GPU: geforce 1080 Using bottleneck calculator I see I have a 25% bottleneck due to the cpu: https://pc-builds.com/calculator/Core_i7-3770K/GeForce_GTX_1080/0020Uulu/8/100/ Given I don't want to change the GPU, what would be a good CPU/Motherboard to upgrade to? Since I use my pc for gaming, would I see a big difference in performance if I had no bottleneck with a better CPU ( I play at 1080p resolution )? Best regards and thank you in advance, Frog eater
