Hello dear Linustechtips-Community!

First of all excuse if I make mistakes, English isn't my native language.

 

My Setup:

GPU: ASUS GTX 1060 6GB STRIX OC

CPU: AMD FX-6350

PSU: Thermaltake Berlin 630W

RAM: 2x 4 GB Crucial RAM

MB: GIGABYTE 970A-DS3P

SSD: None (currently looking for one)

So, I've just recently upgraded my GPU (GTX 760 -> ASUS GTX 1060 6GB OC) and I already notice huge performance improvements in gaming, but im still gettings lags in a couple of games, especially GTA 5 with random stutters. I already read here and on a couple of other forums that it's my CPU that's dragging down my performance. Also I experienced random PC crashed (everything freezes) which is probably caused by RAM, which I'm looking to upgrade to either 8 or 16 GB's from GSkill. The crashed stopped the last few days and it seems working just fine but I'm not entirely sure if the problem is fixed. Because I'm not 100% sure about what to do, I'll just ask here:

 

1. Should I upgrade/replace my RAM?

2. Should I consider upgrading my CPU and MB for better gaming performance?

3. Any other suggestions to improve my gaming experience?

4. Any good SSD?

 

For any buying tips, I live in Germany and have a (current) budget of about 200€, but feel free to suggest more expensive stuff, since I don't need everything on the spot.

 

If you have any more questions, just ask in the comments.

 

I hope some of you have the time to help me out =)

Uh, yeah I hate to be redundant, but I'd wait for Ryzen 5/3 before making any mobo-cpu-ram decisions.

Better dead than Red.

GTAV shouldn't really be stuttering even with that CPU, GTAV does have a stuttering issue at times, you could try increasing it's priority in task manager, or looking for other fixes online

I have no idea why they used 2560x1600 for a CPU benchmark

I edit my posts a lot, Twitter is @LordStreetguru just don't ask PC questions there mostly...
 

Spoiler

 

What is your budget/country for your new PC?

 

what monitor resolution/refresh rate?

 

What games or other software do you need to run?
