Upgrading

[Danny One]

So currently I have these specs and I was wondering what I can improve on because recently I haven't been getting the same performance as usual and have tried everything to improve it. So I currently have a $700 budget to improve my PC so if you can help I would appreciate it. (3D mark score 4317)

 

i7-4790 CPU @ 3.60GHz  

GTX MSI 1060 6gb 

2x WD 1 TB HDD 

Msi X97 Gaming 7 

16GB Gskillz Ripjaw Memory 

h100i Corsair Water Cooler.

Or he could get Ryzen? no point in getting the same CPU just to overclock.

I'd get a Ryzen system. Just the CPU ram and motherboard.

1700 is overkill. 1500 or 1600 would be better.

yes unfortunately it is.

Ok, so I am confused whether I should replace either the CPU or GPU? Because IMO I don't think I can upgrade both with my Budget.

That's a waste of money^

 

The Ryzen costs $50 dollars and has more cores and it's new.
