What CPU should I get!? :/

[Advantex]

I'm currently running MSI GTX 1050Ti 4GB and running an I5 750 @ 3ghz as you can see I'm getting a bottleneck... I'm thinking of getting rid of it as its giving me aids. Please can you recommend me a CPU that I could use with my GPU, many thanks.

you can get something like an x3470 which is 4 cores and 8 threads, and if you have the right motherboard they will overclock right up to 4Ghz (I think, I may have to check my sources on that one) and you wouldn't have to suffer the cost of upgrading to a higher platform with ddr4 memory.

 

If you want to jump platforms right now, I would recommend one of these:

Intel isn't worth buying a z370 motherboard for, and going back a generation will only put you back in the situation you are now, a few years in the future.

Why not a ryzen chip?

   I have an i5-7400 and it suits my 1060 pretty well, so i recommend that.

Imo wouldn't buy the 1400 when it's pretty much been obsoleted by the 2400g. 1500x is also cheap with more cache. 

 

Or op could just wait for ryzen + in mid april

this guy got 3.7Ghz on that CPU, but overclocking skills and silicon lottery results will vary across the board

this is true, I just recommended the 1400 because you can overclock it to the same speed as the 1500x/ 2400g and save a few bucks

The 2400g and 1400 actually both have the same 169$ MSRP. 1500X does have 16MB vs 8MB L3 cache but is 20$ more. 1600 is 199$

The 1400 I listed was going for $149

I meant in terms of MSRP according to the latest price drop. One might be able to find either chip for under it

Thank you all for a reply, I will keep them all in mind.
