Should I upgrade CPU or GPU

[TrueTwoFace]

So here is my current build guts 
 

Intel Core i7-6700 CPU @ 3.40GHz

Radeon RX 480 8GB Graphics

GeIL EVO POTENZA 16GB DDR4 Ram

MSI B150 M Motherboard
Rosewill ATX Mid Tower

Ever since this last Windows 10 update, I've noticed my stream lagging pretty bad, dropping FPS and the like. I have the money to upgrade either CPU/MOBO to AMD Ryzen 7 2700x OR get a new GPU when Nvidia's next gen drops. 
Looking for suggestions. I mainly play FPS games like Escape from Tarkov and PUBG.

Upgrade to ryzen, get 8 cores  with 16 threads for the future streaming.

You wont be able to overclock 2700X much. Stick with stock cooler and stock settings. This board is cheapest but its quite good. Maybe too good for the price  . What is your RAM specs?

CPU		AMD - Ryzen 7 2700X 3.7GHz 8-Core Processor	$319.99				$319.99	Amazon	Buy
Motherboard		MSI - X470 GAMING PLUS ATX AM4 Motherboard	$129.99				$129.99	Amazon	Buy
Total:							$449.98

I'd look for optimizations for your streaming software. It might be the Spectre patch that's causing some issues, but streaming software might be the real issue. That's the place to start.

 

What storage are you using? HDD or SSD?

 

GPU upgrade won't really effect the streaming side of things, that's almost all on the CPU. You probably want to hold the money for next gen Nvidia GPU, and then look where the bottleneck in the current system is cropping up for the streaming.

I've got a 128GB SSD with my boot and main game I play at whatever time.
3TB HDD stores most everything else.

Okay, that shouldn't be an issue. 

 

Have you played with your stream settings, possibly process affinity? It's also possible, given the RX 480, that one of the Windows updates caused a weird update to your Radeon drivers. Clean reinstall of GPU drivers?
