Hey!
I have a quite similar question and dont really know what would be the best way to go.
My System:
CPU: Intel Q9550 @3400 MHz (OC +20%)
Board: Asus Maximus II Formula
RAM: 4x 2GB G.e.I.L. PC2-6400
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX770 @4GB VRAM
PSU: be quiet! E7-CM 680W
OS: Windows 10 - 64bit
DCS played on 1920x1080 Single Monitor Setup, FPS about 15-20fps over Vegas/Nellis AFB at mostly medium settings.
Do u think it would be better to upgrade the GPU, since my CPU seems only to be used at about 60% (watching the most used Core).
Or is it maybe the CPU and the slow RAM/Motherboard being the bottleneck, not enabling the GTX770 to use the full potential?
I wonder if an upgrade to something like a i5-6600K + 16GB RAM is increasing performance noticeable, although it seems to be a good base for the future.
Best would be to upgrade both, but it's not really a minor investment. So i'm stuck between buying a GTX970/980 or a CPU upgrade... :dunno:
Thanks for your help in advance
