Should I bother upgrading

steviet32 · 21 Nov 2019 at 14:15

Hi my system is as follows:
i5 6600k
32GB 3200MHz memory
Zotac GTX1070 8GB AMP Edition
Z170X Designare motherboard
750w Corsair PSU
1TB Crucial SSD
4GB Seagate HDD

I game on a 144Hz monitor and also on Oculus Rift VR (NOT RIFT S).

Should I bother to upgrade? What benefit would I get?

VR -ok 90fps stable.
144Hz gaming some games are around 100fps.
So I am wandering will I get better FPS for a new CPU for example.
Someone mentioned to me that my cpu maybe holding me back in terms of modern games on VR and in general?

1080p. I have overclocked my i5 6600k to 4.2 GHz. Have got water cooling. Think I will replace the lot in 6 months. Can I ask whether a Ryzen 7 3700x or i7 9700k is better? They are at the same price point.
