Gtx 1070 with decent cpu is it bottlenecking?

So I have gtx1070 setup with 16gb ram, and a amd fx 6100 six core processor but I am only getting max 60 or 70 frames on games like csgo or vrchat and I was wondering what i should do as hardware upgrades or what to do to get better performance.

Check cpu percentage use. 

Not a pro, not even very good.  I’m just old and have time currently.  Assuming I know a lot about computers can be a mistake.

CPU - Motherboard - RAM

 

Nothing meaningful you can do with a 6100 to help, on the plus side upgrading to Ryzen from your current platform will blow you sideways.

“Decent” is something of a value judgement in this case.

an FX6100 is NOT a Decent CPU. Its an archaic horrible CPU that belongs in a dumpster fire over gaming. It is definitely holding you back big time.

Intel 3rd/4th gen or higher has a 45-50%++ advantage on PERCORE performance.
Recent CPU's are even better...(even similar core count chips 4c8t and 6c12t are what you'd be chasing on a budget)

Games really respond to this singleCore performance compared to FX rigs... perCore strength matters a LOT when games only use 2-4Cores and 4-8 threads mainly, with EACH OF THOSE being faster on a 45-50% perCore level...

FX is 30-60fps expected, sometimes more, many times not smooth even when it has higher FPS due to frame latency and spikes from the CPU/Subsystems.

Intel/AMDRyzen is undoubtedly MUCH MUCH better and even cheap used parts from 2-3rd Gen will be smoother by far using a GTX1070 with a stronger CPU.

Do-able, not ideal.

Putting the GTX1070 against a i7 3770 (nonK) would be a HUGE improvement to overall smoothness.

But Ryzen 6c12t will maximize your efforts.

 

I've tested Overclocked FX rigs with plenty of GPU's and I wouldn't go beyond a R9 290/X or GTX970 at best, typically I'd use a HD7950 or 7970 or GTX960 Era GPU.

Maximums - Asus Z97-K /w i5 4690 Bclk @106.9Mhz * x39 = 4.17Ghz, 8GB of 2600Mhz DDR3,.. Gigabyte GTX970 G1-Gaming @ 1550Mhz

This could get a little expensive. A Decent Ryzen build includes CPU, board, Memory. The 3770 would be a big improvement and cheaper. 
What CPU cooler are you using? 

Ryzen 7 5800X3D, Corsair H105, Gigabyte x570 Aorus Elite, Corsair Vengeance 32GB 3600MHz, EVGA RTX 3070Ti FTW3, Samsung 850 Pro / WD SN850 / OCZ Trion 150

Plenty of people sell old machines,.. just steer clear of older i5's and go for 8threads minimum is my advice on a budget.

So i have another cpu but i dont know if it would be better considering it is a i7 3rd gen with watercooling and i would also have to swap motherboards.

3rd gen i7 would be a vast upgrade compared to an FX6100.

You will have to get a new board for that i5, consider that in your cost

 

Sorry wrong post, need a second cup of coffee. My bad.

Watercooling can make a mobo swap ugly.  There are quite a few i7 ivy bridge cpu models. They vary quite a bit.  Watercooling implies but does not confirm some sort of serious overclock as well.  Is this the previous board?

Not a pro, not even very good.  I’m just old and have time currently.  Assuming I know a lot about computers can be a mistake.

It can be decent, just not for gaming.

It's only a 6100...which was slower than a Phenom II x6, so no...

Absolutely a night and day difference to problematic FX hating games.

 

Even if a game uses only 2 cores 4 threads or the whole shebang!!, it'll be much smoother.

 

I'd jump on this and deal with the annoyance of the swap.

Just my 2c.
