cpu upgrade question about fps

[nogorakk]

i play fortnite on 130 fps ish i have a 1060 6gb 16 gb ram and a i5 7400

if i upgrade my i5 7400 to a i5 9400F how much more fps will i get in fortnite 

most of the time my cpu is on 100% and my gpu 50%

I don't really know if anyone can give you a specific number, but I would say it would be a solid jump. You get 2 more cores, and a faster CPU.

it has 2.9 ghz  core clock will that matter much ?

Please don't waate money on the 9400F. Get a Ryzen 5 3600. It's a MUCH better processor which also runs cooler and uses less power

The 9400F was never good. Currently the 3600 and 10600K are both vastly superior alternatives. The 9400F is equal to a Ryzen 3 3300X

The 9400F will not work in your current board. It's not supported

If you talking about upgrading the MSI Nightblade pre-built you should have a look for a secondhand i7 7700 (not the 7700k) as that was the other cpu option for that system.

Assuming the BIOS supports it, the i7 7700 but the used prices are absurd. You're better off getting a brand new 3300X (same performance as a 7700K) and a B450 Pro4 from ASRock.

If you change the motherboard make sure you get the right size for the case. I'm not sure what size boards fit in that case.

i will get a new motherboard i will need to watch what fits in my pc my nightblade pc is pretty tiny 

 

any easy way to see if it fits in my pc

https://www.msi.com/Desktop/Nightblade-MI3/Specification it doesnt say anything about the case

 

i think its atx

considering they talk about how compact and easy to carry the case is i'm assuming it's micro atx. it gives dimensions on the spec sheet but im american and idk what the fuck a millimeter is

It's got SO-DIMMs for the ram so it may be a laptop hybrid or something from MSI.

i have a MS-B9071 motherboard with a i5-7400 gpu is 1060 6gb with 16 gb ram and ddr4

i want to upgrade my cpu a cpu thats compatible with my motherboard what is the highest upgrade i can make or the best i want to get more fps

[Fasauceome]

The i7-7700 or i7-6700 is the highest you should go (can't overclock so there's no reason for 7700K or anything.)

 

One major problem, good luck getting a good price on any of those. The 6700 goes for $180 and up on eBay and the 7700 is always above $200. When the Ryzen 3 3100 is a mere $100, it's best to just get a new motherboard and a Ryzen CPU.

 

What PC does this motherboard come from? Is it proprietary?
