Americans get all the good deals.. I am literally buying an i5 4590 and 8gb of RAM...

4590, oudated.

Z87, outdated.

DDR3, soon to be outdated.

And what's wrong with that? If you don't care for all the new bells and whistles why wouldn't you get something a bit older and save a bunch of money? There's nothing inherently wrong with Z87 or the 4590 or DDR3..

Outdated? The i5-2500 isn't even outdated, this is a killer deal for someone who wants a gaming system to target 60 fps at any resolution.

this set up wouldnt bottleneck a titan-x...would be good for up to 4k gaming.

No one buys a Titan X unless it's for bragging rights. 980Ti Master Race

It's a good deal none the less

At 1080p 120Hz yeah, which is why I said it's great for someone looking to play games at 60 Hz. For 120Hz or 144Hz gaming you should be going i7-4790k minimum.

I don't think the i5-4690k bottlenecks anything right now, the i7-4790k isn't needed for gaming.

Every CPU bottlenecks a 120-144 Hz setup, even an overclocked 5960x.

I can't tell if you're being sarcastic or not.

Well true, but is the difference between a 4690k and the 5960X in gaming is minimal.

That's why you need to overclock it plus games prefer faster cores so it doesn't matter if you have 8 cores or 100 cores, if they aren't fast, it will not perform that well. If you overclocked the 5960x to 4 ghz or 4.5 ghz then you'll be well above the 144hz mark. I also notice that the 4790k is missing which makes sense since it has a pretty high base clock making it so it would perform pretty well in games. Just do OC genie for the 4790k and you'll have 4.5 ghz which would make it very good.

Since when is the 4590 outdated? That's still a very relevant processor. If you want outdated, get an FX processor.
