hay guys I need a cpu that will be able to keep up with a 980 ti. It's main priority will be high end gaming at the highest settings in 1440p for games like rust, ark, etc. I will do some YouTube video editing and game streaming, but not to much. I need it to to be able to last 5 years as well. Thanks for all the help guys.

i5-4590, i5-4690k, i7-4790k

i5-6600k, i7-6700k

Whichever one of those fits your price range, none would bottleneck your 980ti
