Upgrading my CPU

[RyanCyan]

I am currently running a g4560 with a GTX1060 3gb (Yes, I know, bad idea--huge bottleneck)

How much of a performance boost am I looking at with an upgrade to the i5 6400/7400/6500?

Thanks,

Ryan

better get a ryzen 1400/1500x/1600

paired with an asus prime b350 mobo

i would go with the 1600 it will last you longer and its 50 more than 1400 and 25 more than 1500x

That's not huge bottleneck. In some games you will get same fps and in some like 15% gains

Really not that much. This video answers you exact question http://www.gamersnexus.net/guides/2913-when-does-the-intel-pentium-g4560-bottleneck-gpu

It's not a huge bottleneck . The g4560 is effectively an i3 in games.

Get an i7 7700

Honestly, don't upgrade.

There's barely any bottleneck at all - almost a perfect GPU & CPU match.

 

the G4560 might bottleneck the 1060 about 10-15% in games like Battlefield 1, but my friend runs an i3 4160 (worse than G4560) and plays BF1 on ultra, and basically every game he wants on ultra.

 

Small CPU bottlenecks are fine, as long as the overall system can run the games you want at the settings you want at the FPS you want.

If you can afford the i5 7500, go for it.

@Ethocreeper Getting a Ryzen CPU will cost way more and if the OP wants to spend $280-300 he might as well just buy an i7 7700 which is better than the 1400/1500X
