Upgrading cpu

[Drahqs]

Budget (including currency): 

Country: USA

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Gaming(fortnite, apex, overwatch)

Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc): So currently I have a old gateway desktop with a DH61BE MBD that’s on the latest bios firmware it can be on, with a i5-3570, I’d like to upgrade to a i7-5930K. From what I can see intel does not have it in the supported CPU list but I just want to know if it would be possible or not. 

Thanks in advance

Crazy stupid. Save your money you'd spend on an ancient 5930k and get a I3 12100f or Ryzen 5600 

 

That cpu is not going to be any faster than what you currently have

The i7 5930K wouldn't work on that board anyway. You would need an LGA2011-3 socket board. The Intel board is LGA1155.

I mean the 5930k is 6 core 6 thread vs 4 core 4 thread that I currently have. I have found the 5930k for $25. @lee32uk said that board wouldn’t even support the it because of different socket. So the hunt continues for a 1155 socket cpu. 
 

I spent $40 for the desktop with the 3570, 64 gb adata ssd for the boot drive, with 240gb HDD and 8gb 1600mhz Hynix ram. I have put in a thermaltake 500w PSU and a gtx 960 4gb GPU into it. The 1600 mhz is the max for the board just need to upgrade to 16gb. There is a 20% bottle neck of the cpu currently(https://pc-builds.com/games/bottleneck-calculator/result/0dl0Oe/1600x900/2Q/fortnite-chapter-2) according to this. Using the previous link I put in the i7-5930k and said there was no bottleneck so that is why I was considering it as well.

With that low end of hardware bottlenecks is not really something you need to be worrying about. That SSD is barely big enough to hold windows, no? I'd start there for an upgrade

It says that there is 30Gb available on the ssd. I was only worrying about the bottle neck since the GPU isn’t being utilized to it’s full potential. 
 

Thank you for your replies.
