FPS dips

[Ben3608]

Hello I keep getting a lot of fps dips in Modern warfare and even in other games like cs go I have 16 gigs of ram a gtx 1080 and an I7 4790k, I was wondering if it is from my cpu? The reason I say that is I read online that newer games are more optimized for 6+ core cpus and I will admit my 4790k is getting really old. So is it time for an upgrade? Also side-note I was running modern warfare on my sisters computer while I was home for spring break and it seemed to run much smoother and she has a ryzen 1600 and a rx580 with 16 gigs of ram which just blew my mind that her computer runs it better than mine, is it simply because hers is a 6 core newer cpu?

Edit: Also my Temps are good.

Also I overclocked my gpu 200mhz and it did not seem to help much at all which leads me to believe its my cpu? And in a lot of games I get good fps it just seems it dips so much and it drives me crazy!

usually that is caused by a cpu bottle neck

You could try something with around 6 or 8 cores that has a clock speed any where from 3.6 to 4.4 GHz. Along with a higher speed CPU you should probably upgrade to DDr4 3200 MHz or higher. I personally am a huge AMD fan but that would most likely require a new motherboard and ram. 

If you do chose to go AMD I would highly recommend the ryzen 5 1600 or ryzen 5 3600

Thats what I was planning on, I love my old i7 but its like 6 years old and only 4 cores, I was thinking either ryzen 5 3600  or maybe the r7 3700x? Also is the 3600x worth the extra 40 dollars in your opinion?

In my opinion it’s not because it’s only 200mhz faster boost clock. If you get the r5 3600 you can overclock it to 4.1 or 4.2 any ways.

I would also recommend a X570 or B450 mother board from aorus.

Depending on the prices/ used market , go for a Ryzen 2600 / 3600 or to be more future proof 3700. 
The 5 1600 is not worth it in my opinion. Not cheap enough and Zen+ as well as Zen 2 support more and higher clocked Ram, on top of their way better performance. 
There are many solid mid priced B450 Boards out there that can support all 3 mentioned CPU's. There's no need to go X570. 

PS: I upgraded from FX-8300 to R5 2600+B450 Mainboard + 16 GB DDR4 3000Mhz Ram for 240€ about a year or so ago. So it should be even cheaper now.
