CPU: i5-7300HQ 

GPU: GTX 1050M 4GB

RAM: 4GB DDR4 2400mHZ

 

I want to buy another 4GB stick, but after will my CPU bottleneck my GPU like stuttering?

My laptop is a Lenovo Y520.

Pretty sure that with MOST game settings you can pull off, you will still be GPU limited.

It would be different with a 1650Super / 1660 based GPU, but the GTX1050 is likely slower in frames than what your CPU could provide/prepare for.

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