I'm sorry to ask again one of the most asked questions of all time, I've tried researching and figuring this out on my own but am still having trouble.
My friend who first got into PC Building/Gaming a while ago, is thinking of upgrading his graphics card to the newly announced Pascal Titan X or if not, the GTX 1080.
From what I remember his CPU is (I know the socket is LGA 1150) a 4xxx series I3 at 3.3GHZ I think. He has 8gb of DDR3@ 1866 in case that is of any importance. His "monitor" is a 4K TV, running Windows and games at 4K. His goal is to be able to get the best graphics out of his games (and be able to run insane graphic mods for other games) with decent performance/FPS at 4K. Would this CPU get in the way of that when paired with one of those 2 cards?
Would it help enough to get just a better CPU for his socket, such as a I7 4th gen or is it necessary that he upgrades to something better than that and get the motherboard with the socket for it?
From what I understand, since this is a TV the frame display limit for PC's should be 60hz, so
while making a suggestion I would base it off of that, which would define the goal as to be able to max out games at 4k from at the least 50 up to 60 FPS as long as that is possible.
I understand it might not be easy to answer for the new pascal Titan X since its not even out, so I'm basically asking for a little prediction for that one.
Thank you for your time.
