Any suggestions?

I want to suggest parts to my friend so that he can upgrade his pc. Currently he has an i5 6400 cpu pre-built from dell that he stuck a gtx 1060 into. He wants to run Rainbow six siege at or above 144fps (as he complains that he can’t use the full potential of his 144hz monitor) and I think the gpu is just fine (as a usual game causes his cpu to be at 100% utilization) he really only needs to upgrade his cpu and mobo and I was thinking a Ryzen 5 2600x cpu as he is on a budget. I’m not really an expert but I do know a little about PCs and the different components.

His processor is fine, the graphics card would be the one holding them back

Sorry messed up on the cpu, I know that it’s a quad core not the 8400 that I said

Figure out what processor it is before you go forward. That'll determine what they need to focus on

Going to a 6700k should be enough. Then a GPU upgrade as well
