Upgrading my pc

[Shadador]

Hello im currently running on a i3-6100 with a gtx 960 with 8gb of 2133 ram. Im planning to upgrade my pc in the near future and i was looking at the r5 1500x and a gtx 1070 and also getting a another 8gb of ram. I dont know if any of that will bottleneck or ifnit is a good combo...

You might want to get faster ram because Ryzen performs better with higher clockspeed memory, but the 1500x will not bottleneck a GTX 1070.

yoy already have skylake so just get an i7 6700 if you can, ryzen need new mobo too. but we need to know your spending limit.

What motherboard do you have?

1) wait for RX Vega. Reasons: https://linustechtips.com/main/topic/805054-so-i-can-afford-a-gtx-1080/?do=findComment&comment=10116210

2) idk whats wrong with a 960. You can game on it, upgrading the GPU after 2 years without any info regarding your budget seems very cost-ineffective

3) your on skylake! why not just buy a Skylake i5?
