You're using a decent gaming rig with a mid-range CPU and GPU. The bottleneck calculation helps determine if your hardware can keep up with modern games. It seems your current setup is handling low settings well, but the potential upgrade to an i7-6700K paired with GTX 1050 could push performance closer to its limits. The discrepancy between your expectations and actual results might come from game-specific optimizations or settings. Whether bottleneck matters depends on the game you're playing—some titles are more demanding than others. If you want higher FPS, consider a CPU with a lower bottleneck percentage. Let me know if you need more details! Thanks for reaching out!

This site doesn’t provide much value; its calculations don’t really reflect your actual experience. Did you expect a deal, or was it just another component you thought you needed?

Remember to switch the board and rams. I don’t know the exact cost but. Ryzens 1600 with a b350 +16g 3000mhz ram should be cheaper. Check it out—this setup uses less power and generates less heat. The GPU is a bit slow, but it matches the performance of an HD7870. Look for affordable rx570s if you want better value.

This topic is quite common and doesn't add much value. You'll always face limitations in your setup. Ideally, your CPU should outperform your GPU—meaning the GPU should run near full capacity while the CPU stays below 90%. A balanced system relies on matching components. You wouldn't invest heavily in a premium motherboard, CPU, RAM, and power supply just to get the best performance from an expensive graphics card like the RTX 2080 Ti. Begin by setting a budget for upgrades and consider your goals. Then you can check if your plan fits your needs or if you should save more before making changes.

I was thinking about purchasing the i7-6700K along with a suitable motherboard since I've seen many tutorials highlighting its strong performance in games and high frame rates even when facing limitations.

When it comes to value, consider getting it at a reasonable cost. However, you might want to check out Ryzen options as well. The R5 1600 and 2600 are both strong picks.

It’s a solid chip by itself, but since it’s an older model with limited availability at stores, the costs are unrealistically high. The used market also doesn’t hold up well. What were your expectations for this upgrade?

You're thinking about getting the I7 6700K MSI Z170 M5 bundle for $220. Is it a good offer?

Yes, you should be fine. The i7-6700K pairs well with a GTX 1050 for smooth 180-200 fps performance.

For items that are brand new and backed by a warranty, it's a good investment.
