i5-4590 + 1060 is enough for gaming?

[trickytommy]

Hi! I am planning to buy a gamer PC in september.
I heard about Intel's new thing, that kabylake (and skylake?) cpu-s will not support earlier os than windows 10. My favorite OSs are windows 7 and windows 8, and i will not let them go. So my plan was to buy a 7500, but i'd rather buy the 4590, since i did not find that much performance difference. Do you guys think that it could run games like DOOM, GTA V, H1Z1, PUBG,Rainbow 6, and these bigger and heavier titles? You know what i mean, the new, and exciting games... Maybe i'll stream some stuff while playing with my friends, and i'll definitely record stuff we play, because i find it funny. It would go next to a Gigabyte GTX 1060 G1 Gaming 6GB. My monitor's resolution is 1366x768, but maybe i'll update to 1600x900 if 1060 can handle it, but i don't think it is sufficient for fullHD.

Absolutely that is a good gamer. And at your screen resolution, the CPU/GPU won't even break a sweat. If you like Doom (I do), that game can play on Ultra running on a potato. I have an old Athlon II X4 rig with a RX-560 that plays Doom on Ultra at 50 - 75 fps @ 1080p. Smooth as silk.

Hi clutchc!
You mean which resolution? The 1366x768 or the 1600x900? I hope you meant both. Actually my friend went for safety, and bought a 1080 for 1366x768, but he is planning to upgrade.

Even 1080p why not.
Still strong CPU and very good GPU.

I was referring to 1366x768, but the same goes for 1600x900... but not as bad. A GTX 1080 on the other hand is quite a bit of overkill for 1080p 60Hz even, forget about 1366x768. But if your friend is planning on a higher rez display or one with higher vert. refresh rate, it may be worth it.
