CPU bottleneck...time to upgrade

[phoon]

Hello fellow quarantined humans,

 

 my once top of the line i7-6700k cpu is bottlenecking my GTX1080 and I wanna up upgrade. What would you guys recommend for a gaming/productivity/workstation basically do it all pc. I got all my other components basically maxed out. But I guess its time for a CPU-MOBO-PSU upgrade. This stuff gets me really excited. I do you think I should wait for next gen intel vs amd or buy now?

 

Thanks in advance!

this is still a pretty good combo. I would wait for the end of the year (like black friday) to buy the new amd/intel cpus.

I have a i7 6700k now running 2 GTX 1080s.

With one I am not seeing a bottleneck.

What are you playing?

if you want more performance now and feel like it's not doing what you want and need now, obviously upgrade now. but in november you'll have buyers remorse.
