So my friend bought a pc from someone and then added a gtx 1070 to it and can get 90 FPS but he gets a lot of frame drops. I have a 1070 with a 6700k and I’m running at 144 FPS no prolem... Is it possible that this cpu is bottlenecking it? 

 

Cpu  Amd Fx-8320 vishera 8 core 

 also an image of the complete pc when he bought it. Only this upgraded was the gpu to 1070.

 

btw he plays fortnite low settings

It's not only possible, but it's [strong_language] happening.

Have him check and see which is being used at 100% while playing games, if the cpu is being used at 100% then it is the cpu. If the gpu is at 100% then the gpu is the limiting factor, just looking at the specs it seems like the cpu should be the bottle neck. You can use something like MSI afterburner to see during the game if it is happening. Linus has some videos on this and should explain it better than I do.

what cpu should he upgrade to/is compatible? 

It completely matters on how much he wants to upgrade, if he wants to go with newer hardware the 2000 ryzens are really cheep rn, but that would require a ram and motherboard upgrade if I am correct.I wouldn't recommend staying on the am3 socket based off the very small amount of processors that he can upgrade to.  It all matters on his budget.

If you intend to keep the board and memory... Nope they all suck at gaming, besides the 8350 is already the best deal out of the bunch (9000 series run stupid hot and cook your usual boards, 8370 is just a tad better).

 

If you want to just keep using the memory kit, you can check out the 4670k/4690k with Z87 (need bios update for 4690k) /Z97 board. Dont recommend the i7s, as their prices are too high for what they are (unless you can get the CPU for within $200)
