depends greatly on the game...but overall yes your CPU will hold you back from achieving anywhere near 144fps in many modern titles...and in some more demanding open world or online games i doubt you'll be able to max out your GPU...You should look for an i7-7700 or something...that way you get a much more capable CPU without swapping motherboard...then sell your core i5 to get some money back.

BIOS update on your board is likely required before you can get rid of the core i5 and use the core i7.

You will be fine in most modern titles, (just don't go playing Crysis) this was the kind of CPU that the 1070 was originally released for. (Remember folk the 10 series hit when the 6700k was all the rage) The 6500 is only ~9% slower than an 7700, which is a CPU ably capable of powering the mighty 1080 ti (and also the newer 2080 ti) in modern games as most of these modern games are only designed to take advantage of 4 cores and they have taken into account the rather slow development of the CPU over the last decade so most modern games are optimized to take advantage of powerful GPUs that Nvidia has continued to produce in the meantime. Or to put simply in most games you will be fine... (I have seen much older and somewhat slower CPUs ably power faster GPUs than this one without bottlenecking).

The problem with getting a better cpu for an older motherboard is older intel CPU's don't seem to drop in price much and spending $350 on a 7700K would be a slight improvement.  It would be better to spend more money and get on a new platform with the best CPU you can afford.  A 2700X or a 8700K would be a significant and noticeable upgrade and it would last for 5 - 7 or more years before being bottle necked by the latest GPU's.

ideal is to buy a used CPU localy through facebook ads or craigslist for example...you don't buy an old CPU new.

Also.. When Games Do use more than 4 cores/threads.. You see 90-100% way more often, and lose GPU usage and FRAMERATE as a result.

 

You'll want a minimum of 8threads going forward...or more.

 

Problems like this are hugely mitigated by having 8 threads over 4 threads in multi threaded nature of games.

You can play games with higher minimums and smoother Gameplay.

 

However you manage that.. As cheap as possible, isn't that hard if you really are patient and want to spend wisely. Inc spending wisely on more than 4threads...

No matter how powerful these 4threads can be, its a thread limitation for many current games as well.
