Upgrade advice — CPU or GPU first for 1080p high FPS gaming?
Hi all,
I’m trying to decide what to upgrade next and would appreciate some technical advice.
Current build:
- CPU: Intel i5-14400
- GPU: ASUS Dual RTX 4060 8GB
- Motherboard: ASUS PRIME B760M-A WIFI D4
- RAM: 32GB (2x16GB) DDR4 3600MHz CL18
- Storage: NVMe SSD
- Resolution: 1080p 165Hz monitor
Main usage:
Mostly esports games like Valorant and other FPS titles.
Goal:
Higher average FPS and better 1% lows / smoother gameplay.
Questions:
- Is my system currently CPU-limited at 1080p?
- Would a CPU upgrade (14600K / 14700K) make more sense than a GPU upgrade?
- Is upgrading from RTX 4060 worth it for 1080p competitive gaming?
- Any BIOS tweaks or optimizations I should try first?
Thanks in advance!
