Been looking around at benchmarks and stuff to see what I could get to see a decent inprovement in this game. It looks like most low end CPU's won't make much of a difference, so I was looking at Intel i5 8400 and 8600k, as well as a few Ryzen benchmarks. Is my best option to upgrade my CPU/board/RAM ? Or should I stick with the 2500k and spend a bit more and get a better graphics card? I can probably get a 1070Ti for pretty close to $300 used
My current specs are -
i5 2500k @ 4.6ghz
1060gtx 6gb
16gb ddr3 PC3-12800
850 EVO SSD
I think the obvious weak link is the CPU and slower RAM. But looking at a lot of benchmarks, all the cheaper AMD Ryzens have about the same single core performance. The 8400 looks like the sweat spot for me, plus I can get it, a board and RAM for about $300. I was eyeing some of these combos on Microcenter for the 8400 and a board, links here:
This is the link to the CPU, combos are below the pictures but above the specs
This is the cheapest board and CPU combo that I see, $225 for the board and CPU (but this board is really crap, slow memory speeds)
This is the cheapest board that is half decent:
