Hi guys! My name is irving and i just created this account. I built a Gaming pc for 600$ 2 years ago in Microcenter(if anyone is familiar) which consisted in a AMD A10 7850k CPU, 8gb RAM, Gigabyte f2a68hm-ds2h motherboard, and a gigabyte r7 370 windforce OC GPU. I didnt do SSD and i got a disc slot. But i recently upgraded the GPU to a XFX RS 480 and i noticed that in some games i almost get the same FPS than my 3 year old GPU, i mainly upgrade because i started playing H1Z1 KOTK and wanted at least 60+ frames but i only get 50 AVERAGE on low settings except texture(medium). I think i dont get them good amount of fps because the CPU is bottlenecking the GPU and want to ask you guys for help on what CPU AND GPU(combined) would be the best for a budget of 200-250$ and maybe throw in a good PC case for it. I would like to switch from AMD to INTEL if you guys recommend it if not than thats Ok. BUT PLEASE HELP ME OUT I CAN MAYBE GO A LITTLE OVER 250 but not more. PLS HELPPP!!!

Alright thanks ? bro! Appreciate your help

i5 6500 is 179 now

http://www.microcenter.com/product/451887/Core_i5-6500_SkyLake_32_GHz_LGA_1151_Boxed_Processor

 

And mobo for 49.99

http://www.microcenter.com/product/451887/Core_i5-6500_SkyLake_32_GHz_LGA_1151_Boxed_Processor

 

If what the deal is true you save 30 

 

So i5 + mobo = 190

 

And then grab DDR4 ram off amazon (because cheaper)
