Hello I am in the market for a hardware upgrade to improve framerate In games especially in battlefield v. I have to run the game at low setting on 1080p at 60hz and I get around 40-50 FPS and it spikes heavily around 30 in combat. 

My specs are a gtx 1060 3gb and a I5-4570. 12gb ddr3 ram 1600 MHz.When I run the game my cpu is at 100% load on low settings.

    I was debating if I should upgrade the gpu to a gtx 1660 or upgrade the cpu to a i7-4790k or just upgrade motherboard ram and cpu for a Ryzen 5 2600. Which upgrade will give me better frames??

Probably not worth getting the 4790K because they tend to be very overpriced on the used market. If you upgrade to Ryzen then wait until next month when the next generation come out. Even if you buy a 2000 series CPU you will benefit from price cuts.

I would wait for ryzen 3000, even if you want a 2600 theyll drop in price once the new cpus launch

Which Ryzen 3000 would you recommend at a similar price?

Its hard to know without seeing reviews but I would guess the 3600 or 3600x would fit your needs best
