I use my PC mainly for gaming then movies/TV then browsing. I have the upgrade itch.

Current spec:
i5 6600K @4ghz (will go higher)
16GB DDR4 3000 I think. Maybe 3200
KFA 2060

Thinking of going Ryzen 3600 but as I'm on a 60hz 1080p TV will it be worth the bother?

Thanks.
 
The board is an MSI Z170A Tomahawk and tbh I've read plenty of threads elsewhere about older i5 CPUs causing stuttering and what not but maybe I've been lucky but everything I play from Bf V to PubG to CoD or CsGO runs at either high or ultra settings no problem. Maybe it's because I'm limited to 1080p 60 I don't know. I just saw everyone raving about the new Ryzen stuff and my kit is now a few years old I got the upgrade itch.
