Intel i3 7100 question

[Quintavious V]

Alright so, im wondering, can an i3 7100 work with a gtx 1070 non ti variant well?

 

Please recommend me other CPUs

What? 

 

Please tell me you're not serious... There will be big bottleneck issues.

The 7100 is a dual core. They're obsolete. Quad core is the new low end.

 

Seems like you already know the answer though, since you demanded we not recommend others.

That depends, what's your budget, country, use case (gaming/streaming/content creation), and have you already bought any parts?

Depends entirely on the budget you have.

Get a i5 8400 a b360 motherboard and 8 gigabytes of ddr4 memory (with atleast 2666mhz speed)

This should come out to about 380 euros and will perform great with your cpu. It will also perform great in other non gaming uses because it has 6 cores.

I would say this is the lowest i would go because otherwise you should just get a gtx 1060.

Also the Coffee Lake platform is way better then the Kaby Lake one.

my friend says 250-300 KWD which is around 800-1000 bucks

RAM speed doesn't matter that much with Coffee Lake. It's Ryzen that is heavily dependent on it. 2400MHz is perfectly fine.

if you have an 8th gen board then i5 8400 or i7 8700 both would work else if you have a 7th gen, 7700 should be your choice.

A used 6700 is a way better buy.

I know but there is a small increase which is worth the 5 dollar increase.

Kaby Lake costs significantly more used, even though performance is almost identical to Skylake.

Unless there is a sale, or the CAS latency is higher (which hurts performance), it's going to cost more than $5 extra.
