Bottleneck?

If you paired the Asus GeForce GTX 1060 Dual OC 3GB with a i5 6500 3.2 GHz Quad-Core Processor, will it bottleneck? Because Game-Debate clearly says its the best CPU match. I don't know if its truthful or if its a hoax. Thanks!

It wont be bottlenecked, but the 1060 3 Gb is really bad value. Try to get the 6Gb version if you can.

If you're getting the 3GB one, then you might just want to purchase the 970. 6GB is the bang for bucks bro.

Strix is the better cooler option between the 2. You could also look at other brands like MSI and EVGA however.

 

And yes, go with 6GB...

The object of life is not to be on the side of the majority, but to escape finding oneself in the ranks of the insane.
