Hi Everyone, 
Currently i am using MSI Z97 GAMING 3 (https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/Z97-GAMING-3/Specification) , 2 x 8G DDR 3 (1600mhz), INTEL i7-4790 CPU @ 3.60GHz & EVGA GeForce GTX 1080 SC GAMING GPU. Games like PUBG, gives me Bad FPS and a friend of mine told me my CPU might be bottlenecking my GPU. 
Any advice on this?
If that's the issue i would like to purchase an EVGA motherboard, CPU and RAM. Would like some recommendation on what type or model to purchase for the following. My budget is on the MID-end range end. Thank you!

    Hello kalai888

    Your i7-4790 CPU should Turbo Boost to 4.0 GHz   your saying it is Not the K version of CPU
     
    Are you OC your current PC at all ?
     
    What resolution do you game at / your monitor support ?
     
    CPU-Z what is your CPU usage while gaming ?



     
    I'd look at these if you decide to Update your MB --- Use Any members Associate Code & Save if you buy on EVGA.com
     
    EVGA Z390 FTW, 123-CS-E397-KR, LGA 1151, Intel Z390, SATA 6Gb/s, USB 3.1, USB 3.0, ATX, Intel Motherboard
     
    Intel Core i9-9900K Processor
     
    Or the more budget friendly  Intel Core i7-8700K Coffee Lake 3.7 GHz LGA 1151

    I usually buy G.Skill RAM / EVGA Z390 FTW - look at 3200 & faster RAM that fits your budget - 16 GB should be fine & budget friendly Or go for 32 GB if you want to spend more

    1080p does Not put much of a load on the GPU - that can make it harder on your CPU
     
    Have you tested to see if turning your in game setting Up - might actually Help (counter intuitive I know)
     
    By making the GPU work harder it can "free up" the CPU
     
    Will Your CPU Bottleneck Your Graphics Card?

    I just tried, the FPS still kinda fluctuates more like as when there are more players clustered together or in a wide area with more structures. Any idea on what might be the cause? For a more stable game play..

    Browser ?
     
    Turn off hardware acceleration
     
    Might just need to update your GPU it has a larger load than the CPU in your picture

    I tried process lasso and when i click on the top running process, then go down to the bottom process, and holding down the shift key click on that, then right-click and then set the affinity for all the processes, my PC hanged (after setting them to affinity 0 & 1)  tried a few times and had to force reset. I think it's not compatible with my CPU 
     
    For sure i will update if i found the secret 
    Thanks for you help!
