will my cpu bottleneck?

[randomusername47263]

hello guys and gals,

 

i am planning on  buying a 1080 when i find one at a decent price, with the new rtx series releasing.

i game on a 2560*1080 resolution and notice that my current 1060 is struggling for some games, hence the 1080.

my question now is if my cpu( i5-7600) will bottleneck my system?

if so i was planning on getting a i7-7700 so i dont also have to upgrade my mobo, because that would be a little out of my budget.

 

do you think the 7700 is necessary? any other options are always welcome as well

 

thanks in advance

it'll bottleneck, an i7 6700 or 7700 will help remove the FPS drops and stuttering you'd get from the i5. if it ends up costing $200 or more used, get a ryzen 1600/2600 +B350 board instead.

well i wa planning on getting a 7700 new, i'm not really a fan of used computer parts  where i live a 7700 would cost me about € 300

a CPU rarely dies, even when used for years and overclocked. if you're not buying it used then don't bother with the older i7s and get a ryzen 1600/i5 8400.

I got a i5 7500 and a gtx 1060 if I upgrade I change the system completely like the z390 board instead of the z170 I got more cores less chance to be a cpu bottleneck even if I get the 7700k in my system still a 4 core cpu not good enough if I upgrade the gpu even my cpu hits its limits in new games maxed out but still games run fine for now  as my cpu hits 100% there are no slowdowns not bad but I see my systems limit still...

would you recommend getting an 2600x and a x470 mobo for future proofing or is it not worth the extra cost over an b350 and a regular 2600?

i'd just get a 2600 and overclock.
