Hello, I was thinking of upgrading the rest of my pc to catch up with the gpu I bought a while ago (GTX 1060 6BG), since everything is a bit dated.

Motherboard: ASRock B75 Pro3

Processor: Intel i5 2500k

Power supply: XFX pro 550W

RAM: 8,00GB Dual-Channel DDR3 @ 665MHz

Current gpu: EVGA GeForce GTX 1060 6BG SC

Storage: 500GB Western Digital WDC and 240GB Crucial CT240BX200SSD1 (SSD)

Screen: Samsung S22B350

If you were going just gaming I would suggest and i7 7700k, but that would put you over budget. At the i5 level it's better to go Ryzen.

I would rather agree on what we share, than fight on what we don't. - Myself

you do not need a new cpu if your cpu isn't limiting you (it isn't limiting you by THAT much)

consider a full system upgrade after you get something slightly more higher end, thats the beginning part where your CPU will really be the bottleneck and not your GPU 

 

but if you insist..

138 is a good number.

I think the bottleneck are the cpu and ram (slow and not enough i guess) but that's probably because I've been playing PUBG lately and the game is far from optimized.

PUGB isn't optimized from what I remember, but I don't know what it prefers, a good CPU or good GPU. If it prefers a good CPU then go ahead and upgrade else don't.
