Evaluating a CPU upgrade to Ryzen 5 2600 for gaming is worth considering. Your current setup includes an i3-6100 with a stock cooler, 16GB RAM, a Ripjaws V GPU, and a GTX 1060. Assess if the performance gains justify the cost based on your gaming needs.

Yes, it might be more economical to purchase an i7 on the same platform, offering comparable performance.

The performance boost would be excellent. You'll require both the CPU and a suitable motherboard.

The i7 6700K or 7700K is priced similarly to a Ryzen 5 with six cores and a motherboard. Despite this, they remain four-core processors. They fall short in some recent games.

Sure, the cost remains consistent when switching from a used i7 to a brand new Ryzen 5 with a compatible motherboard.

Consider Ryzen 5 + motherboard options. Msi B450 Tomahawk, A-PRO, Gaming Plus or Gaming Pro are good picks.

Great option. Consider boosting your RAM speed if it's under 3000MHz.

The RAM speed has a minor impact on AMD CPUs.
