Bottlenecking with GTX 1080 and a i5-7500 processor

Hey, I have a GTX 1080 and a i5-7500 processor. I recently noticed that I’m getting some lag issues. Especially in CS:GO where I cap at 110 fps and usually get 70-80 fps. Is this my CPU bottle necking my GPU?
 

I’ve tried searching online for the same specs and they seem to get 200+ fps in csgo max settings. And I get around 80 with the lowest setting. 
 

If I would get a 5900x processor would that help?

you don't need to get the best CPU possible, the Ryzen 5 5600X would hypothetically be a pretty massive upgrade by itself and offer some high end gaming performance.

 

but first, are you running 2x8GB of ram, or just one dimm?

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 10 and Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

How many watts do I need? ATX 3.0 & PCIe 5.0 spec, PSU misconceptions, protections explained, group reg is bad

I have 2 of 8 gb ram making it 16 in total

dual channel ram does help but yes if your CPU is too slow in games you would need to upgrade

Yeah, I most likely will. I’m just curious why CS:GO would lag that much, because I didn’t think it would bottleneck that bad.
