Should i change my CPU?

[Zotec]

So i have had my PC build for about four months now and its a Fx9590 as the processor (the GPU is a GTX 1070 founders edition). Anyways i want to go for an Itx upgrade/downgrade just to have the form factor and i was wanting to know what 1151 socket processor wouldn't bottleneck my GPU at all but that is also cheap. Thank you in advanced

For gaming a 6600k should do the job.

Budget? An i5 will have a mild bottleneck, but it proably wont be noticeable.

Ok but so it wont bottleneck my GPU?

If it's a super cpu intensive game like Cities Skylines maybe yes. If you have the money get a 6700k.

@Zotec, just remember as the higher your resolution, the weaker the CPU required (kinda). An Intel Core i5-6500 is the minimum you should go for 1080p. By the way, what resolution are you running at?

which CPU you shoudl get largely depends on your budget, what kind of games you intend to play, and what fps you intend to play those games at. if you're after 60 fps gaming, even an i5 6500/6600 will do that at any resolution with any game. if you're after 144hz+ gaming on a title like BF1 on their large scale multiplayer maps, then you're going to want nothing short of a 6700k. but if you can't afford the 6700k then its a moot point.

 

My advice is always this: get the best hardware you can afford to get which gives you the gaming experience you desire (doesn't make a lot of sense to get a 6700k + titan for 1080p 60hz gaming, nor does it make sense to buy a budget computer to chase a 4k gaming workload).

I'm running at 1440p

Then the Intel Core i5-6500 will do just fine.
