Thats quite a nicely balanced system but the GPU is defo on the light side, unless you are 100% sure its CPU that limiting you I'd look at upgrading the GPU instead. New RTX cards yesterday means there is going to be a massive drop in prices of current (now last) gen.

gen.Plenty of RTX 2000 series hitting ebay today! I'm sure it will bring down the used high end GTX 1000 prices as well!
I've been putting together a new build over a few months and am so glad that I'd decided stick with my GTX 1060 until the nvidia announcement! The RTX 3080 is very tempting, but should I wait until AMD show their hand?

Thanks. Got a 2070 on the bay for a good price. Should arrive tomorrow. :)

Murphy's_Law
Hello,
I'm looking to upgrade my PC, which I use from gaming, to audio recording for about everything.
Mainboard: Asus B150I PRO GAMING/WIFI/AURA B150 (1151 slot)
CPU: i5-6500
GPU: Nvidia 1050ti
RAM: 16gb
Memory: SSD & HDD
My main concern is the CPU at the moment. The games I'm playing rely heavily on CPU and while the GPU is nothing to write home about, it seems to do it's job. The 6500 is more the problem here I guess.
My question is: will my mainboard support newer CPUs as long as they're on the same plug?
My idea would be to check ebay for a used newer generation i7 and plug that in there.
Also I have a M.2 slot going spare, so maybe another SSD to help with video editing.
Bad idea?
