It's time to replace the 5.76 GHz processor.
Exploring different genres beyond intense FPS and survival titles. Seeking AAA experiences but facing performance limits with my RTX 2070 and i5 7600k. The main challenge comes from games like Cold War Zombies, which demand constant high CPU usage. Arma 3 remains a go-to due to its lower demands, especially when settings are adjusted. For balanced performance, look for CPUs offering solid speeds with decent efficiency—ideally around 3.5–4.0 GHz and good multi-core support at lower power consumption. This will help maintain smooth gameplay without overwhelming your system.
You'll need to replace both your CPU and motherboard since different generations use different socket types. Your display connection depends on whether it's plugged into the GPU or the motherboard. With your current setup, an i7-8700k and a 2070 work fine.
