What cpu??

[DAnewguy]

So I'm going to playgames for the most part on 1080p with a gtx 1070 and I'm planing to keep this pc without changing anything in 3 years so I rly want a Cpu that will hold(not Bottlenecking new cards) for a long time butt I don't want crazy things like i7 extreme or some shit

And thx if you decide to help

6600k

i5-6500 if not OC'ing, 6600K if so

I5-6600k is a great cpu or i7-6700k. Would be good at 1440p too btw. 1070 is a good card.

i7-6700 if not ocing , i7-6700k if u are.

 

Just because dx12 and newer games require more threads. (thus i5 kind of bottleneck higher end gpus)

[david cassar]

Recommended is an i7 6700k however you can get away with using an overclocked i5 6600k.

I think that I will go for the 6700k cuz I will upgrade in 3 or 2 years and then the 6600k will just kill the gpu

Button the i7 6700k meybe

*says he doesn't want something crazy

*quotes a guy with 2,500 subs who says that the i5 bottlenecks a 1070, ignoring the guys with 50k+ who tested their 1070 review units on it and had no complaints

*suggests that he should use a 6700K instead, something many would consider crazy given his i7 comment

 

...why'd you even ask for help if you'd already made up your mind?

actually try a xeon if u arent ocing will be a higher binned chip for the price of a i5 

it will have 4 cores and 8 threads

Well first thing is that this is true and second I said the i7 extreme that cost like a pc and a i7 6700k is not crazy

A 6600K will bottleneck a 1070 by about 10-20%.
