Hi peeps,
I'm not getting very good frame rates in BFV, gaming at 1440p.
Thought it might be time for a graphics card upgrade but in game the cpu is running at 100% with gpu only at 70%. So I guess it's more like time for a cpu etc upgrade?
I currently have an i5 2500k with 16gb of ram, I have o/c'd it a little (4.2) and that's all I'm comfortable doing.
Which Cpu should be aiming to get?
I'm thinking it's time for motherboard and ram also, so looking to spend about £500-£600.

Any suggestions most welcome :)
 
Thanks Lee,
I might just be tempted by the AMD option, historically gone for Intel.
Is the Ryzen more power hungry than i7?
I mostly use PC for gaming btw :)
