Just put in the MSI GTX 1060 6gb gaming edition and what an improvement in FPS along with the 144hz, 1ms response. Ran bottleneck test and now my FX-6200 cpu is the bottle neck but building a new Intel I5 7600K system. Thanks T3 for the monitor advice, greatly appreciated! Playing BF3 I was averaging 130 FPS, on PUBG I was averaging around 40-60 but Im thinking switching to the Intel I5 build may improve this a bit based on the bottleneck data, but that is only a guess.

I have an R9 390 8GB gfx, paired with an FX-8500. I would only upgrade to Ryzen if I was gonna do one, but I have no need. I'd rather enjoy gameplay rather than graphics ;)

Its made a huge difference in game play. A lot better playing PUBG now but my FPS are still not high enough. I know its not optimized yet but it will be eventually....maybe. I thought about just upgrading to a better FX processor but upon doing research, I would not gain much.
