Gtx 1060 and a i3 6100

[ParadoxPrizm]

Will a gtx 1060 get bottlenecked by a i3 6100? If so how bad will it be? I currently only play csgo, Overwatch and call of duty. I want to play them in 50 60+ range in fps. Also if anyone can recommend me a gpu that isn't expensive as a gtx 1060 and better suits my i3 6100. Sorry im fairly new in pc building. I just want to play those games at high or ultra with great fps and no problems

Here is my goal build 

Cpu: i3 6100

Gpu: gtx 1060 (or one that better suits my i3 6100) 

Motherboard:ASUS H110M-A LGA 1151 Intel H110 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 Micro-ATX DDR4 Motherboard

Ram: G.SKILL Ripjaws 4 Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 288-Pin DDR4 SDRAM 2400 (PC4 19200) Memory Kit F4-2400C15D-8GRR

It won't bottleneck and you will play CSGO with about 300 FPS and other games way over 60 FPS.

If RX480 has decent price (less than GTX 1060) it would be also good. RX470 will do the job for those games if you can't fit 1060 or 480 in your budget.

I can vouch for this, CSGO at 1440p runs at around 270fps and constantly hits the 300fps mark which seems to be the max fps in csgo.

300 is not max fps in CSGO. Also he will probably run it on 1080p or even less. Make sure your fps is not caped at 300. Command for it is fps_max as i remember.

For CS:GO i3-6100 will be fine but for other CPU demanding games it's likely will be bottleneck for sure because GTX 1060 is to much for it. I personally think that maximum GPU for stock i3-6100 is RX 470 if you buy a GTX 1060 you need better CPU or at least overclocked i3-6100.

 

Even GTX 970 who is slower than GTX 1060 is too much for i3-6100.
