Hi, so my current system is a 6600k and a 1070. Now, I want to upgrade my system so I can play future AAA games at max settings in 1080p. I'm planning to get myself a 2070 super, but i'm pretty sure that my CPU going to limit a 2070S pretty hard, as it's a simple 4c 4t CPU that even maxed itself when paired with a 1070 (usually it's a sweet spot where CPU and GPU works equally hard).
Now, the real question is in the title,
should I just scrap the whole z170 mobo and get myself a 6c 6t
or keep my z170 and slotting in a used 7700k with 4c 8t (HT) for future games?
Do game nowadays need prioritize core count or thread count?
Please tell me what you think what's the best price/performance wise, thanks.
