Upgrading my CPU

[TroelsO]

Hey LTT

 

My computer has started running slower when playing games like Call of Duty: Warzone and I'm now thinking about upgrading my PC.
I would also like to get more FPS in CS:GO to potentially upgrade to a 240hz monitor. 

My current specs are:

GTX 1060 6gb

Intel Core i5-7400

Asus B250m mortar motherboard

16gb HyperX Fury ddr4 ram (not sure about the speed)

 

I think my CPU is the main problem because I'm experiencing a full 100% usage of my CPU, even with Warzone on "normal" priority. When I open multiple applications at a time, my sound on discord cuts out which makes me believe that my CPU isn't powerful enough.
I've been suggested upgrading my processor and getting an AMD Ryzen 5 3600. So I have a few questions: 
Would that be a good choice?
What motherboard would be the most cost efficient to pair with it?
Do i need to upgrade my RAM?
 

Thank you in advance :-)

wait for zen 3  ( in Q3/Q4 of this year)

save up more and move from this dead platform, for now i would say the 7500 should be good enough.
