Need some advice

[Kucipa]

Hi guys I would like some advice here. I want to upgrade my zotac gtx 1060 6gb to Gtx 1080 / 1080 ti the problem is i'm kind of scare if it will bottleneck on my cpu.

My specs: 

Motherboard : Asus z170-ar

16gb ram

Cpu i5 6600k

 

Thank you.

You'll see an improvement over what you have, you just might not get as much out of it as if you had say an i7.

Oh thanks for welcoming me. So do you think is it worth upgrading or just use it what i have??

Slight improvement but not much due to the 6600 and 7600 (K skues included) being the bottle neck in a 1070+i5 but you can get a 1080(ti) and upgrade to a i7 later

You would only see an impact in games that rely on multiple threads, like GTA V and Watchdogs 2 for instance. And even in those game, the bottleneck would not be a problem. For all other games, you should be fine.

It's worth it in the long run but for now it won't be good but think of the long run what resolution are you going to be gaming at
