Yeah that'll bottleneck for sure. Good news is you dont need a brand new GPU either. Maybe a 5500 xt would pair well?
I'll prefer not to upgrade the GPU if its not absolutely necessary. I mean, if not upgrading it doesn't worsen my performaces and with just the CPU i get to that desidered fps, i don't care if i dont reach the max potential of the CPU, at least for now.
Im trying to save money and that GPU would be another 200ish €.
Just get the 5700x and ship it. I think you'll notice a performance boost and the bottleneck won't be too big a deal. The two units are a bit far apart from each other but you can always upgrade the GPU further down the line. Plus its CS we're talking about and no some new triple a release.
Thank you :) Yeah, i don't have high demands so probably the CPU will give me the boost im looking for. And when i'll have some money to spend and feel like the good ol 580 has done its job i'll be happy to upgrade.
Btw it's all Valve's fault, it they kept with CSGO i would be rocking 220+ fps and everybody would be happier, greedy greedy corporations :/
