@jjyn,

I am running a platinum series with the Corsair, and I still have my old unit, a Roswell Fortress 750W, pretty sure it is a 85+ rating platinum also. My 750W handled my 1070 and the Ryzen just fine. My old I4790K was at 4.8-9ish and very stable. You should be fine, bronze is 75+ rating I think?

You have a 1060 6gb card right??? I almost went with one instead of the 1070.... I don't think the 1060 is a card that is not able to play this game well, or should be able to. LOL, I won't even go there with the normal remarks about what it takes to play this game with decent FPS.

It's the AMD FX-6300 that he has right now that's bottlenecking his GTX 1060

Correction. It is the AMD A8 6600k. (4 core) with EVGA GTX 1060 6GB SC.

At the time these AMDs were new on the market with the FM2+ socket. Next thing you know, AMD abandoned, and then went back to FX processors leaving off from FX-6300. You could never find a AM3+ motherboard with PCIx 3.0. All are PCIx 2.1. FM2+ have PCIx 3.0. I felt ripped off, laughed at. "You fool. You feel for our new CPU!". This CPU brand for FM2+ sockets became a failure. Tell you all. Stay away from FM2+ sockets, CPUs. What a mistake. Now I have to work on a Ryzen.

I know have taken the computer apart. And now using a older board AM3+ motherboard with the Fx-6300 (6-core), with Asus Rx460 OC (2GB card), 16 GB 1866, and I get 100FPs on Medium. and 50-70FPS on High. No over clocking. The video card is on a PCIe 2.0 slot. Confusing.

But before I put in the Asus Rx460, I had used a Sapphire HD6770 1GB Gddr5. On medium settings, was getting 15-20FPS. Then installed the Asus RX460 card and on Medium 100-110FPs, then moved to High settings that 50-70FPS. Huge Increase, performance. Wonder where the intensive CPU problem comes in.
