i7 3770 with gtx 1070 in 2018

[Yash_rc]

soo i want to upgrade my i3 3210 to i7 3770 i have a 1070 which is wayy too weak for my current cpu ... i was planning to get a i5 8400 but it would require me to swap my motherboard and rams which are costly af and im on a tight budget ... will i7 3770 bottleneck my 1070 ? im a casual rpg / fps gamer... i like 60fps on rpgs and above 60fps on fps .. will it provide these fps ?? i know games will have the new "ray tracing" but it will reduce fps to 30 anyway and i think it shouldnt be a hit on cpu as ray tracing use gpu power and i have no intention to use ray tracing.. i m thinking to use this rig for 3 years atleast till i get a part time job and at that time i would enitrely change my system

so will it be able to push for 3 years ? with i7 3770 ??
pls tell me cuz then i would have to pay wayy less to game 😀

I7 3770 + 1070 is still good for today and perhaps in the next 1-3 years.
Is it cost effective? it depends on the price you have to pay for than 3770.

If you get a working sample for 80 bucks I would get that 3770.
Remember, buying used items has certain gamble.

true ... but it does have a return policy for 30days ..

You should get the 3770 on a non overclockable motherboard. The 2 CPU's are the same without an OC. They changed that with the 4790 and 4790K making the K model faster. The GTX 1070 will pair well with the Core i7 3770. I'd get it. Especially for just $80.

if it comes really with a kind of warranty e.g. that 30 days return policy, I would get it.
Take 3770 (no K) for non-OCable mainboard
