CPU upgrade recommendation

[joser1813]

I currently have this set up:

• i5 4460
• Asus B85M-G 2.0 motherboard (LGA 1150)
• 16 GB DDR3
• MSI RX570 4GB
• 2 TB seagate HDD
• Intel 160 GB SSD
• BeQuiet System Power U9 PSU

I'm playing Gears 5 right now and getting some pretty bad sttuters once in a while (98% of the time game runs well enought). The CPU is bottlenecking my system. I didn't wanted to upgrade since I though this GPU/CPU combination would be just fine but the CPU is actually a tab too weak. Doom 2016 also gives me some issues. I was thinking about buying a better haswell used CPU to take advantage of the hardware I already own but maybe it's time to jump to a newer platform. What CPU would you guys recommend? Considering I don't have a super fancy rig. You know, a logical upgrade. I don't have the money to buy an i9 9900K. I think used hardware is the way to go and I'm planning to save around $150/$200.

A Ryzen 5 2600 or 3600 will do nicely.

Also the Ryzen 7 2700 is cheaper then the 3600 now.

You can get this for around 200:

Or for 20$ more get a 2600

an i7 4770 can be had at a reasonable price, and there's also anything from the Xeon E3 1230 v3 to the E3 1280 v3 to fulfill the same role.
