X51 R2 cpu bottleneck / cpu upgrade.

Hello all,

I have these following 3 questions regarding my CPU and a possible upgrade I'm thinking, but firstly I would like your opinion if an upgrade would be really worth it.  

So my build is the following:

X51 R2

WINDOWS 10/ x64

BIOS A10 (up to date)

16GB DDR3

i5 4460 3.2 ghz / max turbo 3.4 ghz

GTX 1060 6GB (EVGA mini - upgraded from GTX 745)

SSD Corsair 480GB (upgraded from a 2TB HDD which is removed from the machine).

330W Power Brick (upgrade from the 240W).

DVD Rom also removed.

--------------------------------

Overall my X51 boots like in 5 seconds and performs very well.

-------------

However, I would like your opinion on the following: 

1. Do you think that my the i5 4460 3.2 ghz bottlenecks the GTX 1060 6GB? , and

2. Do you think that upgrading to an X51 R2 compatible i7 would make a difference on gaming or not really ? - would it be worth it? On which case a compatible i7 would make a difference anyway?

3. Which i7 is compatible with my machine R2 BIOS A10 ?

----------------

Thnk u :) !!

Thnks!!! :-)
