What to upgrade?

[Greta]

Hello, i'm thinking of upgrading my PC, but i need help to know what to upgrade. My current specs are:

 

i5-4690k (stock)

12gb ddr3 1600mz RAM

gtx 1060 6gb

MSI B85M-e45 (cant overclock my cpu with this board)

500w psu

 

I would like to know what would be the best part to upgrade to get most performance for my money, thanks.

I would say to go for a new mobo and try to overclock but you can go with a new CPU but on average, the performance increase would not be huge. Only if you're using all of the cores on a better i7 (LGA 1150 socket, of course), for example, would you actually gain a performance difference.

That's the thing, I've been watching some youtube videos comparing stock to overclock, and there isn't a huge increase (about 3-7 fps). I also wonder if upgrading the ram would be beneficial since it is ddr3 at 1600mz,

Your CPU does not accept anything above DDR3 1600Mhz so... You can save for a new CPU + MOBO combo and slowly upgrade from there.

Ok, thanks.

I'd definitely agree that saving up for a new mobo + cpu combo would be for the best. Just keep in mind that 500w PSU is not very robust so you would probably want to upgrade the PSU b4 you try overclocking.
