Should I upgrade?

[Alex1996]

Hey everyone!

My PC currently has this motherboard: ASUS Intel LGA1151 H110 M-R HDMI Micro-ATX. I was wondering should I think of upgrading any time soon? I have a i7 7700 processor and a GTX 1080 graphics card with 16gb of RAM.

I've had my pc for a couple of years, and I was curious if I needed an upgrade soon. I game and stream often, and my CPU usage does hit 100% quite often so I dont know if that means I should look for something else.

Any help would be great!

Is the CPU overclocked?

If your CPU is hitting 100% then it is holding you back.

Is the CPU overclocked?

If its the non K then unfortunatly he cant overclock it.

Would look at upgrading to a ryzen 7 3700x system and selling your old parts to offset the cost.

something like
