Do I need to change my processor?

[Criidi]

I have a i5-7600k and gtx 1080. So my question is, is the processor good enough or should i upgrade it. I'm playing games with 1 1440p 144hz monitor.

 

Thank you

Don't upgrade if you're getting the performance you want. Are you?

[Criidi]

The only problem is that when open for example Chrome, my mouse is stuttering for a second. Also sometimes in certain games it is stuttering, especially PUBG.

Chrome stuttering? I can tell you right now that the 7600k is more than enough to keep that from stuttering. Are you using an SSD for it?

As for PUBG, it can indeed be hard on the CPU so an upgrade would actually help there. Hunting for a good deal on an i7 7700k would be nice, but new Ryzen is coming in a matter of months so waiting is also worth it.

that's how Chrome works tbh, it'll hang your pc even if you have a 9900k oc'd to 5GHz, spaghetti code at its finest.

 

and PUBG, well it's a game that never left Alpha state so it's normal it's filled with bugs and errors, even if you replace the CPU that issue will still be there.

When i have a z270 MB and want to upgrade to new processor, I have to buy a new MB too?

And yes I'm using SSD for Chrome.

Well, more multithreaded CPUs with higher clocks have been shown to iron out the mess that is PUBG so it would improve at least slightly. Although if it's PUBG only then it's not really worth upgrading.

One more question, When I'm getting dual monitor setup, one 1440p 144hz and the other 1440p 75hz. Will there be any problems?

Nope, you'll only have to deal with potentially getting eye cancer when working on the panel that's 75Hz.

 

Your processor is definitely adequate for now, especially if overclocked.

 

I too am extremely tempted to upgrade but it would be virtually burning money with AMD and Intel preparing to launch their next generation CPUs.

I run chrome on an i5 3570K, so you should not have any issues. Also chrome running like shit is normal.

At work the shop PC is running Chrome on 4GB, Win7,128GB Ye Olde SSD, and a Core2Duo Pentium E6300 at 3.5Ghz. Plays 1080P Youtubes just fine!

how much ram?

 

edit: anything less than 128gb means that it is not enough for chrome.

(im joking of course. get atleast 12gb)

As previously stated, you should have at least 12gb of RAM. I have a 7600k as well and I ran some tests comparing a single channel 8gb setup and 16gb in dual channel. The 16gb setup ran much faster while launching and running programs within Windows as well as gaming.
