Quick thought: My system is a bit outdated, but I think it could use some improvement, especially in games like Warzone. I'm struggling to hit a solid frame rate, even when lowering settings or resolution—I usually get 50-80 FPS. I know the i5 might be limiting performance, since it's using over 90% of its capacity. Upgrading to an i7-7700k could give me steady 100+ FPS. Also, the Phanteks Shift case might have problems with the GPU riser cable, but I haven't noticed that issue in other games.

If you locate an i7-6700 or 7700 near $100, it's a worthwhile upgrade. Otherwise, skip it—consider investing in a new graphics card and CPU instead.

warzone demands significant CPU power, even with four additional threads. If you can achieve 6700 and 7700 running costs under 100€, it seems reasonable. Otherwise, skip it for now.

It would be better, isn't it? Current information and AMD options vary by price range.

Sure, in my region used i7 7700s are priced similarly to new i5 or Ryzen models, so a fresh CPU plus motherboard might be the best choice. I’m new to AMD, so it’s worth considering whether a Ryzen 5 5600X or an i5-10600 would suffice for the next couple of years.
