max fps in CS:GO

[chem]

Hi Guys,

 

I have the following setup:

 

Processor: Core i5 4460

GPU: GTX 1070, 8gb video memory

RAM: 8gb ddr 

Monitor: Acer Predator XB253Q (Full hd, 165hz)

Board: Gigabyte: H97M-HD3

 

And now I'm wondering what upgrade would give me the best fps boost? I just want constant high fps to gain the most out of my new monitor (I was playing on an lg 4k monitor before, but I wanted to test out 165hz)

 

Budget: 100€

CPU Upgrade.  CSGO cares more about CPU than GPU for high FPS

Also is that 2x4GB or just a single 8GB stick of RAM?

single stick

4790k's are going for over his budget on Ebay. 4690k?

You can probably hit 144, but the single stick of RAM and outdated platform + CPU will hurt your FPS alot.
Best upgrade you can do atm is get a second DDR3, that would help.

Just keep what you have and save up. Maybe get a 5600x later on, as that is the best CPU for CSGO atm (thats not the otehr zen 3 cpus)

I think I will go this route. what ddr3 stick would fit this setup: https://imgur.com/a/TEJnPWD

 

Second question: should I change the settings to 144hz If i cant hit 165 constantly?

I mean idk what your current RAM stick is, so I can't really tell until you tell me the sticks speed and CAS latency.


You can always change between 144 and 165, difference isnt that big tho

I just posted a image link above.

And does it make sense to overlock some these parts?

I could not find the exact same ram stick. it's is 1600 mhz, 9-9-9-24 timing

 

am I better off buying another 8gb stick with the same specs or buying two new 8gb sticks and selling the old one?

Another 8GB 1600 CL9 kit will get the job done,
