I have a 1060 6gb, i5-6500, 16gb ram 1tb hdd, 128gb ssd. I play alot of rainbow six siege but when playing my cpu goes to 100 percent when I'm on low settings. I think I'm experiencing a bottleneck and want to fix it. I have a budget of about $200-$250 and need a new cpu and was wondering what I should get.

lowering graphics reduces the load on the graphics card, which can inadvertently increase CPU load. Still, a new CPU would be nice considering the aging quad core you've got.

what ram frequency?

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 11 and Fedora Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

PSU tier list

How many watts do I need?

PSU misconceptions, protections explained, group reg is bad

That CPU shouldn't be bottlenecking that bad in Siege...

 

If you're looking for an inexpensive yet significant upgrade, I'd save a little more and get a Ryzen 5 3600 and motherboard. It'll handle all the rest of your components just fine, and should come in around $275 after taxes and shipping, depending on your location.

CPU: Ryzen 7 5800X with Arctic Liquid Freezer II 120mm AIO & push-pull Arctic P12 PWM fans RAM: G.Skill Ripjaws V 4x8GB 3600 16-16-16-30

PSU: Be Quiet! Pure Power 12 M 1000W GPU: ASRock RX 5700 XT Reference with Eiswolf GPX-Pro 240 AIO & 2x Arctic P12 PWM fans Case: Antec P5

Motherboard: ASRock X570M Pro4 Monitor: ASUS ROG Strix XG32VC Storage: HP EX950 1TB NVMe, Mushkin Pilot-E 1TB NVMe, 2x Constellation ES 2TB in RAID1

I went to look for a B450 motherboard that would make hitting that speed easy but that's not super easy to find so I'll suggest this:

PCPartPicker Part List
Type Item Price
CPU AMD Ryzen 5 2600 3.4 GHz 6-Core Processor $133.00 @ Amazon
Motherboard ASRock B450M PRO4 Micro ATX AM4 Motherboard $69.99 @ Amazon
  Prices include shipping, taxes, rebates, and discounts  
  Total $202.99
  Generated by PCPartPicker 2019-08-20 22:26 EDT-0400  

My friend uses an RX 580 and this CPU for his 144 fps rig in siege, works pretty great. While the RX 580 doesn't get 144 quite so much, it manages about 120. what is your performance target?

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

While I can't guarantee the price is the best, (Amazon sucks at sorting or searching for any computer components) these will work.

 

https://www.amazon.com/AMD-Ryzen-3600-12-Thread-Processor/dp/B07STGGQ18/ref=sr_1_11?keywords=ryzen+5+3600&qid=1566354353&s=gateway&sr=8-11

https://www.amazon.com/ASRock-MicroATX-Motherboard-B450M-PRO4/dp/B07FVYKFXF/ref=sr_1_23?keywords=am4&qid=1566354270&s=pc&sr=1-23

 

And since I much prefer Newegg, (and you should too if you're located in North America) here are links to the Newegg listings...

https://www.newegg.com/amd-ryzen-5-3600/p/N82E16819113569?Item=N82E16819113569

https://www.newegg.com/p/pl?N=100007625 601311650 601318817 601334781&Order=PRICE

 

***EDIT*** You can always go for a lower end CPU, but this one will last a lot longer.

CPU: Ryzen 7 5800X with Arctic Liquid Freezer II 120mm AIO & push-pull Arctic P12 PWM fans RAM: G.Skill Ripjaws V 4x8GB 3600 16-16-16-30

so yeah, if you upgrade to the 2600 your limiting factor will be the 1060, but you'll be able to lower the settings to bump the framerate. I actually overclocked my roommate's 2600 to 4,0 all cores just for fun, no improvement to R6S frames so that's how I know it was a GPU limitation.
