Up grade to Ryzen or upgrade motherboard

[Stin6667]

HI

 I want to upgrade the motherboard and ram of my computer, but after looking at recent youtube videos, I have been thinking about rather changing over to Ryzen. I would like a second opinion. I  currently have an intel 6600k and an H170/pro motherboard( slight overclocking features) with 8GB of ram. Or do you think I should just spend the extra money on changing my GPU. I have the gtx 950 2gb.

 

Thanks

spend the extra and upgrade your GPU instead, your i5 will be fine for a few more years

Upgrade the GPU to a 1060, and throw im another 8GB of ram dude, you've got a great system there!

Just replace the GPU, your CPU is still perfectly fine for a couple more years.

And if you ever happen to actually run out of RAM, like with a game or general usage of the PC, get an extra 8GB as well. Personally the only game I ran into that required me to get more than 8GB, was Space Engineer.

It depends on which GPU you're talking about, anything above the GTX 1070 and there will be a CPU bottleneck in demanding games. Even with a 1070, he's going to be CPU limited in some cases with a quad-core i5.

Thanks so much for the advice!! 

 

So just upgrade the ram to 16GB and GPU. I was thinking of the  GTX 1070ti.
