Is everything compatible?

[Clown]

So I'm building a new PC because my last one broke down. However, the CPU, the CPU fan, the RAM and the Hard drive survived. 

 

CPU: i5-4460 (not overclocked)

CPU cooler: Stock intel

Motherboard: ASRock H97 PRO4 LGA1150

RAM: Crucial 8GB DDR3-1600

Storage: Seagate Barracuda 1TB 7200RPM

GPU: EVGA GTX 1080 FTW Gaming ACX 3.0

Case: Zalman Z9 NEO (comes with case fans)

Power Supply: EVGA 650W 80+ Gold Certified Semi-Modular ATX Power Supply

 

I'd only need to pay about $820 for this build because I already have some of the parts. I'd most likely upgrade the used parts once I get a bit more money. I don't really care about a slight bottleneck on the GTX 1080 because I will upgrade the CPU pretty soon anyways.

What parts do you already have?

The i5-4460, the seagate barracuda, the Crucial 8GB, and an intel stock cooler.

Read OP maybe?  tut tut tut

Everything is compatible, as long as we disregard the bottleneck

How much of an FPS difference would there be because of the bottleneck?

[Guest]

I would get a 1070 instead. What resolution are you planning to play that requires a 1080? Yes sorry about that, everything should work fine

1080p 144hz. I want to play ultra on any game while getting a solid framerate.

Although I still think a 1080 is a little overkill for that, there's no reason to not get a 1080 if your primary aim is to get 144fps at 1080p, ultra

Okay thanks.

There is Crysis 3. But I agree with you on that point

You're gonna be bottlenecked by the 4460 bad when trying to push over 100FPS IMO

 

With a 1070 I can barely push 110 in BF1, and I have a better processor.

But even so, a 1080 will compensate some of the difference in the speed differences of the CPUs

So once I get a bit more money I would upgrade my CPU to atleast an i5-7600k. Would there be any bottleneck on that?

[TommyW2061]

yes. a 1080 will have slightly less frames in SOME games paired with a non overclockable i5 than with a i7. i run a i5 6600k 4.5Ghz myself together with a gtx 1080 strix. the fps difference i get compared to a i7 are +- 5 FPS depending on what game i play. your build should be fine if you are okay with slightly less frames that what you could get.

No, you should be fine with that.

Still a bottleneck, + you would need to change your CPU, Ram, Motherboard

 

IMO just get a 4790

Put into a perspective that a i5 6600k bottlenecks a GTX 1070 let alone a 1080

7600k benches higher, and I'm not sure about that. With a PassMark score of 9300 it's close to the 4790k and 6700k, etc without the extra cores.

Okay thanks. I'll do that as soon as I get the money to.

Okay thanks! It's nice to have someone with personal experience commenting.

Okay thanks. I'll decide after doing more research.

It will bottleneck, i forgot the guys LTT (has a lenovo logo) name but he has a great graph of showing the bottleneck

 

And a Pentium 4 gets close to a 5960x...etc without the 7 cores, and without threading, and overclocking it to 1MHz

 

The extra threads ARE THE POINT of an i7, what's the point of removing them? and btw, it's threads, not the same as cores

No, I meant that the 7600k doesn't have the extra threads. The other processors do. 7600K comes third in terms of single-core performance on the chart in that 'bottleneck guide' you show off. It will bottleneck, but not that much. It's a good processor, but I do agree with a 4790/k being faster (and cheaper) but that very much depends on availability as it isn't made by Intel anymore.

Depends...depends...
