bottleneck?

[Red_TC]

would i be running in to any bottlenecks by using a 980 and an i5 4440 

[faziten]

yes.

[App4that]

No

Based on online calculators, yes. CPU is weak. Upgrade to i7 from the same generation, and sell that i5. That shouldn't cost much.

i disagree with you guys, a GTX 980 is the same as a GTX 1060, the i5-4440 is gonna perform pretty well with the GTX 980, and if you're gonna game on 1440P then that CPU is more than enough.

 

have fun with it until you feel like you need an upgrade.

Just some you GPU can do 144fps fine if you turn settings down enough, but the CPU may hold you back.

then yes... the i5 4440 will be a bottleneck, but if you're gonna run games at 60 fps youll be fine.

the only game id be playing at 144hz would be overwatch and I can run 100fps np with my 1050ti...unless I have something like Netflix in the background then I dip down to 75-80

depends on the game and how CPU heavy it is...pump up the graphics demanding settings and enjoy, you'll still get 60FPS+ on most games.

What you have there is comparable to a brand new Ryzen R5-1400 which is known to perform well with a GTX 1060 which is about as comparable to a GTX 980, CPU performance compare:

http://cpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Intel-Core-i5-4440-vs-AMD-Ryzen-5-1400/1993vs3922

it's a good match and should run most demanding modern games relatively well!
