Hi.
This is a bit of a weird one. A family memeber recently paid for me to upgrade my PC as a thank you as I am caring for a family member. I gave my old 2070Super GPU to my partner.
She mainly plays older games with the odd newish one thrown in. She mainly plays Sims 4, WoW and games like this. Her current system is as follows
i5 6600k
2070 Super
16Gb (8x2) DDR4 ram.
850W psu.
According to a few bottleneck calculators shes being bottlenecked by the CPU (understandably) However, neither of us have much money at the moment as I am caring for a family member and im unable to work and do that as well.
I was just wondering what would be the cheapest CPu to go for that wouldn't really bottleneck the CPU? Her current board would allow a i7 7700k but it's not really much of an upgrade according to benches. I'd obviously have to upgrade the Mobo As well and as she has RAM already it would need to be ddr4 compatible. She doesn't play the latest games as i said above etc I'd say the budget is £200.. Is this even possible? thanks for any help
