I've never in my whole life heard a i5 is gonna bottleneck if you're wanting to play at 100+fps at 1080p...

Looking at my signature are we now? Well too bad there's nothing here...

Well if it was a locked sandy or older i5 then yea, it probably will bottleneck a bit but I don't think anyone is building a computer with pre-sandy hardware here...

Looking at my signature are we now? Well too bad there's nothing here...
