Upgrading current setup

[Lalisa]

Hey everyone!

I'm planning to upgrade my current setup since I'm leaning towards 1440p gaming and I'm also noticing a lot of lag (CPU reaches 100% lol) when I'm doing some 3D (Zbrush) while watching videos on my other monitor (720p resolution only )

Here's my current build:

CPU: i5-6600K

Motherboard: Asus Z170 Pro Gaming Aura

RAM: G.Skill Ripjaws V 16GB DDR4 3200

GPU: Asus Strix GTX 1060

Cooling: Noctua NH-D15

PSU: Seasonic M12II-620 EVO 80Plus

Displays: Acer Predator XB271HU and an old 720p samsung monitor

 

I think my CPU is the bottleneck when I'm doing 3D stuffs that's why I'm planning to upgrade it first and my mobo to i7-8700K or 8086K and Asus Maximus X Hero then I'll proceed to changing my GPU to 1080 (since there's no available 1080 in our local stores atm and I think the cpu will still be the bottleneck if ever I'll upgrade the gpu first) and maybe add another Predator monitor 

 

Just wondering if I'm upgrading the right component first or if there will be issues with other parts etc.

Let me know if you have suggestions about this.

there should be no issues but if you are going to be 3d modeling a amd ryzen cpu might be better since those have more cores and are great for the money aswell.

could go with an ryzen 7 1800x, 1700x, 2700 or 2700x as it has 8 cores at the same or higher speeds if you overclock and the gpu could be a 1070 or 1080 to help with the 3d applications

Just do the most afordable thing and find a 7700k. (make sure your bios is updated to accept Kaby Lake S.

First - buy graphics card - it fit in both - 6600K and 8700K motherboards. In fact it will fit all motherboards, so you risk nothing.

Then if you think that is not enough - buy new processor and motherboard.
