My personal opinion would be, upgrade the ram, if possible OC the CPU a little (some H boards can) ... and you are still good to go for a while. I would wait another generation until I would build a new machine. 

 

 

Main System:

Anghammarad : Asrock Taichi x570, AMD Ryzen 7 5800X @4900 MHz. 32 GB DDR4 3600, some NVME SSDs, Gainward Phoenix RTX 3070TI

 

System 2 "Igluna" AsRock Fatal1ty Z77 Pro, Core I5 3570k @4300, 16 GB Ram DDR3 2133, some SSD, and a 2 TB HDD each, Gainward Phantom 760GTX.

System 3 "Inskah" AsRock Fatal1ty Z77 Pro, Core I5 3570k @4300, 16 GB Ram DDR3 2133, some SSD, and a 2 TB HDD each, Gainward Phantom 760GTX.

 

On the Road: Acer Aspire 5 Model A515-51G-54FD, Intel Core i5 7200U, 8 GB DDR4 Ram, 120 GB SSD, 1 TB SSD, Intel CPU GFX and Nvidia MX 150, Full HD IPS display

 

Media System "Vio": Aorus Elite AX V2, Ryzen 7 5700X, 64 GB Ram DDR4 3200 Mushkin, 1 275 GB Crucial MX SSD, 1 tb Crucial MX500 SSD. IBM 5015 Megaraid, 4 Seagate Ironwolf 4TB HDD in raid 5, 4 WD RED 4 tb in another Raid 5, Gainward Phoenix GTX 1060

 

(Abit Fatal1ty FP9 IN SLI, C2Duo E8400, 6 GB Ram DDR2 800, far too less diskspace, Gainward Phantom 560 GTX broken need fixing)

 

Nostalgia: Amiga 1200, Tower Build, CPU/FPU/MMU 68EC020, 68030, 68882 @50 Mhz, 10 MByte ram (2 MB Chip, 8 MB Fast), Fast SCSI II, 2 CDRoms, 2 1 GB SCSI II IBM Harddrives, 512 MB Quantum Lightning HDD, self soldered Sync changer to attach VGA displays, WLAN

Moral of the history, its gonna worth it?

Nope. Not at all. Can I have your i7-6700K? I'll take that all day long in 2019. And why on earth do you own a K CPU with a non OC mobo? Upgrade your mobo and call it a day. It's easier than you think.

What's the point of upgrading from a 1060 to a 2060 Super for CS:GO? Also would a 3700X be faster than a stock 6700k in that game? CS:GO isn't bound by single core performance?

The Ryzen 7 3700x is as fast as a 9900k in cs:go, as you can see just at the beginning of linus' review. Not to count that the single core performance alone of the 3700x is superior, especially to the 6700k stock

unfortunately my board does not allow OC so RIP, i have this board because i originally had an i5 6500. @Anghammarad

I played alots of games, but my main is csgo. @LukeLinusFanFic

 

it's going to be worth it if you're planning on playing at high framerates at 1440p in AAA games, but i think you'll be fine with what you have for a couple of years still in esport titles at 1080p. If i had to choose between upgrading the cpu or the gpu, i'd take the gpu now, since the 3700x is going to be limited by the 1060 anyways, while a 6700k can still handle a 2060 Super. By itself that configuration is worth it, but you have to choose if it's worth it for you and in your use case
