[SOLVED] i5 6600k 16gb ram 980ti- still viable for 1080p max maybe some 1440?

I've been on ps4 pro for a while, all my friends are on it. I've play alot of monster hunter. The load times have become unbearable. I'm bringing my rig back, but at this point, it's a little long in the tooth...
This is the basics of my setup: 6600k +980ti+ 16 gb ram
This still gonna cut it here in 2019?
Can I still squeeze 1440, or at least 1080p max and get that buttery 60fps? That's why we are here, right? Lol jesus.
I know that's a horrible framework for my question, but I would like to know if it will be able to handle the super demanding titles like anthem? Or am I gonna have to nerf some settings/ or have CPU bottlenecks? I have i5 at safe oc @ 4.4ghz 1.3v
1.3

That should still be a fairly potent setup, some games might cause issues for all max settings, but thats nearly unavoidable.

Really depends on the title(s) in question. A 980TI is a plenty capable 1440p card, and still a high-end 1080p at the expense of power draw.

Anthem is a tough one to judge specifically, as it's still(?) early access and lacking optimization. People were struggling to hit 60FPS with a 1070 (so on par with a 980TI) at 1080p High/Ultra. In time, that should be straightened out though
The quad-core nature of the 6600K will limit you in some particularly CPU-intensive titles, but it's not going to be the difference of playable at Ultra 60FPS vs not playable at all - you'll just need to tweak some settings.

For Anthem, the minimum CPU requirement is a 3rd Gen quad. With the recommended being a Quad+Ht (4790) or straight Quad (R3 1300X), so I'd anticipate a 6600K having no problems on that front.

Thank you guys so much. Yes sir, I'll stick it out with old faithful(she was SO hot in her heyday) until the next the next generation.
Praise the sun!

If you could find a 6700K or 7700K cheap enough, they'd be solid upgrades and last you a few years yet..... but I've never really seen either go for particularly cheap (like $100 cheap)
