Intel i5-6600K with Nvidia Geforce GTX 750 Ti?

[CaliBoyChris]

Was wondering if an Intel i5-6600K would be a good match with the Nvidia Geforce GTX 750 Ti and also how well it would run on GTA 5. Thanks.

The CPU is top of the line. The card is a bit weak for games like that, but playable with reduced settings.

Thanks for the answer. So with saying that, what GPU would you recommend with this processor?

For gaming at 1080p you could pair your CPU with a GTX 970 or AMD R9 390 and max all current games out on ultra ($300 range). For higher resolutions like 1440p the AMD R9 390 pulls ahead, and for 4k gaming the GTX 980ti is the next step up from there ($650 range). Any of those are good matches with the i5-6600K, so it really depends on your budget.

Sky is the limit so to speak, that's a very strong CPU.

Hmmm. How well do you think I can run GTA 5 on this CPU but with an AMD Radeon R7 260X

I've seen reports of the R7 260x being able to handle GTA 5 on high settings. Youtube is actually a great resource for that, do a search for the game and card to see what FPS people are churning out on high settings.

It's still a fairly weak card to pair with such a strong processor, but you've got to start somewhere. If $300 is just too far out of your reach right now then get what you can afford and save up for a better card in the future.

Final question; with the same CPU, would it be better to run next gen games on a gtx 750 ti or R7 260x? Sorry for all the questions lol

 

[Luminary]

They each trade places as best performer between games, the 750ti and r7 260x are essentially neck and neck. Between the two I usually recommend the GTX 750ti.

 

[Sinistercr0c]

And for just a bit more money you would be far better getting the GTX950 over the GTX750Ti

 

[clutchc]

+1 on the GTX 950, but only if you have a sufficient size PSU.

 

[mlga91]

Instead of a 6600k go for a 4590, that way you can get a better Video card, there is no point of getting a top of the line CPU if you'll be using a entry level video card. What is your budget for the entire build?

 

[CaliBoyChris]

I decided to raise my budget and I'm going with this cpu and the MSI R9 390. Thanks for all the help guys!

 

[Luminary]

You're most welcome, very good choice! 😉
