Monitor + GPU Choice

[Boriquen]

This is my current setup:

EVGA GTX 960 SSC

AMD FX 4300 (Upgrading to FX 8350 or even more, bottlenecking yes I'm aware)

32GB RAM

Corsair 850W

MSI 760GM-P34(FX)

 

1. So the thing is I'm going to upgrade on monitors, I've been thinking about getting this Acer Predator 1440p 144hz G-Sync IPS Display. The only thing is I want good FPS, and make sure I won't lag or any of that on most games with this monitor.

 

 

Or

 

2. I was thinking about upgrading my graphics card to a GTX 980ti and a even more powerful processor. With that same monitor.

Which one should I chose?

get an intel CPU and go 960 in SLI.

Could you direct me to a Intel CPU? That will fit my situation.

i5-4690K would be your best choice if you're planning to overclock. It's around 240 euro's/dollars

more budget friendly would be an intel i5-4460, however it's not unlocked so no overclocking. Coming in at 180 euros/dollars

Money is not an issue, my friend.

Well , than you can go overkill for an i7-4970K. But for regular gaming the i5 is more than enough for at least 5 years. Just make sure you get a good z97 mobo.

 

OR OR OR OR

Wait for the skylake CPU's which will be released in like 4 days!!!

a 8350 will bottleneck the 980 ti Massively even if overclocked. if you want to remove the bottleneck you'll need to 

[Boriquen]

Any AMD CPU's out there that won't bottleneck the 980ti?

 

And if I do get a 980ti setup, will I need to get Water cooling?

Depends on the game but in general not really, no. If you get a 980 Ti you should switch to an i5-4690K or i7-4790K.

Water cooling is never necessary. It is only a luxury.
