So I've about the same rig for the past 4 years and I'm looking to upgrade the gpu and monitor. What I have now is a gtx 770, 24" asus 1080p 60hz monitor, gtx 770, and an i5 4670k that's been good to me (OC at 4.4 since day 1).
So I been reading forums and watching reviews and I heard a lot about some games being CPU demanding etc and how a CPU can bottleneck your graphics performance. Hearing all this made me think twice about going for the gtx 1080.
Ultimately I'd like to get a 1440p 144hz monitor with a gtx 1070, however my question is how much would my CPU hold me back? Can I get all or most of the performance out of the gtx 1070/1440p combo?
If the CPU is too much of a bottleneck then the other alternative would be a 1080p monitor at 144hz, and with that I think a gtx 1060 (6gb version) can handle it.
