Hello everyone, as the title say's, what CPU would you recommend to pair with my GTX 980 ti?
I ask this as i made the the mistake of pairing this GPU with an i5 4460, which to be honest, i did blindly as i am relatively new to PC gaming and didn't realize that pairing a £150 CPU (in the UK at least) with a £500-600 GPU (Again, in the UK) was not the best idea, at least with regards to getting the most out of this GPU and avoiding bottlenecks. As a result, i have not had the most enjoyable and consistent gaming experience that i should have had (provided that i had done more thorough research prior to building) with games such as GTA 5, AC Syndicate, Far cry 4 and AC unity all causing 100% CPU usage, which results in large FPS spikes, stuttering and inconsistent GPU usage.
Therefore, any recommendations on a wise choice of CPU would be much appreciated!
