Is an i7 6700 non k good for gaming?

[davezzzz6]

I have no interest in overclocking so I'm wondering if the i7 6700 non k will be good for gaming at 1080p 144hz for atleast 1-2 years?

yes with your 1080ti you will be good

It should be sufficient enough to get the job done. The rest of your components would also help in answering this question.

2 years is a stretch because gaming developers will be implementing high core counts in the future. lets say 2019 they take advantage of fast 8 core cpu's?????

makes sense, so realistically it'll do fine at 1080p 144hz max settings for a year or so before having to tune down settings?

ya...lets say a youtube video pops up with a higher fps than yours in a years time. buddy, there will be a lot more tech released in that time. to say "im on the bleeding edge" id say xmas, new year, feb. then youd experience slowdowns.

I get what you're saying thanks for the help

ya if you didnt say "144Hz" and "2 monitors" would have lowered it, what with the new gpu tech coming out it is getting tight.
