i heard no man sky is quite cpu intensive, so it might be the CPU causing issues

you could upgrade if you think it's worth it, or tried overclocking your cpu?

i just tried the game and the cpu is maxed at 100% so its the cpu

well if it's the bottleneck then u can upgrade it if you'd like

tho as many other said, new stuffs are coming out, u can wait for then to see if it'll fit in your system, or u can get a 3600(XT) for cheaper

 

OCing can help raise the bottleneck a bit, but afaik, ryzen OC headroom is very limited

I would go with a 3700x because it has 8 cores and 16 threads like the upcoming consoles, so it would be more future proof. Especially since you could use the same mobo and upgrade to Ryzen 4000 if you so desired. It also has much lower TDP than either, especially the 10600k. It's also cheaper than the 10600k.  

 

In modern games it performs about equal to a 3600xt, winning in most titles by a slight margin and losing in a few by a slight margin.
