cpu for 1080

[jordengx]

i bought msi gtx 1080, now i need a cpu for 1440P gaming at 144hz, is ryzen  7 a good option or i should go with i7?

thanks

For 1440p anything from 5-6th Gen Intel should be fine. Your most likely going to be GPU bottlenecked anyways with a 1080 so even a ryzen 1800 is probably good enough for most situations.

If you have the budget go for the i7 8700k for a few extra frames and better oc but you should be fine with the ryzen 7 2700x

now i have core i5 7500 3.4 ghz and boost to 3.6

do i need a new one?

You'll be better off with an Intel upgrade, but a 7700k would probably fare similar to an 8700k. Not exactly an enormous leap in performance in one generation.

Yes your i5 will bottleneck the 1080. For gaming the i7 8700k is now king, but Ryzens okay too.

That will be a bottleneck, but a fairly minor one. If you wanted to upgrade, get a 7600K.

Since OP was considering an 8700k, I think the hassle free maxing out of the currently owned platform would be ideal

if i take ryzen i will need very fast ram, now i have 16gb 2400ghz

Sure, if they have the cash to do so. We don't know if OP's motherboard is an overclockable chipset, so recommendations aren't super useful at the moment. If OP has the cash for a 7700K, by all means, go for it. If not, the 7600K is a good option to prevent bottlenecking.

i have a the lowest chipset h110, so the motherboard will effect on the Performence?

and what is the deferent between 7700K and 7600K (and do i even need the "K")?

So the 7700k is an i7, so it has 4 cores 8 threads (kind if acts like it has 8 cores). The 7600k is a four core four Thread. the K at the end will actually give you higher frequencies even without overclocking, so a 7700 K is better than a 7700 even on an h110 board. The 7600k does not have this advantage.

 

Log story short, the 7700k will be the best chip for your motherboard no matter what, in terms of performance.

how much the jump from 7700 to 7700k would effect performance, will it be 10 more fps on average?

no way to know exact fps since it varies greatly game to game, but if budget is what you're after, a 7700 will cut it

look, i found a deal and the deference between the two is 50$, and if i take the 7700k, what cooler i should choose (how much TDP)?

A cooler like the cryorig h7 is great
