Is Gtx 1060 3gb good with i5-7600K?

[blackrockmountain]

Hi. I want to ask if Gtx 1060 3gb good with i5-7600K? Im want to get this PC. My RAM is gonna be 16.

1080p, yes. Should get you ~60+ FPS in most games with med-very high settings: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IvNxTJjUZtw (7600k is better than 6600k)

Thanks for answer. I want to run Rainbow six siege. Will I be able to?

yep, this is 7400: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZGQNXU3B78w

I would consider the 6GB version. Games like Wolfenstein II are using more than 4GB of VRAM. The 1060 3GB struggles in this game, but performs admirably with the 6GB version.

That will work just fine you can upgrade the video card in a couple years if needed.
I would consider getting the i5 8400 for the 6 cores should be a bit more future proof if their such a thing.
You would loose some single core performance but gain the 2 extra cores.

Hmm okay. I will probably get GTX 1060 6gb but Is the I5 8400 better than I5 7600K?

If this is a new build, definitely go with I5-8400, extra 2 cores and faster single core is better to have.

 

[Zerk2012]

The 8400 gives you 2 extra cores could help with future games or streaming game play and editing. You would need a Z370 board to use it.
It has a bit less single core speed but not much unless you overclockk the 7600K.

I5-8600K with 6 cores is as good as it gets for gaming, and can run ANY graphics card you want.
It is a better buy than the I7-8700K which costs some $100 more.
Few games will effectively use more than 2-3 threads so the I7 hyperthreads will not help much.
The $100 premium is better spent on a stronger graphics card.

Similarly, the I5-7600K with 4 cores/threads gets the same analysis vs. the I7-7700K with 8 threads.

As far as the graphics card, any of the above can support a graphnics card very much stronger than a GTX1060.

Okay thanks guys but can you explain what are the cores for? 😀

Okay thanks guys but can you explain what are the cores for? 😀

On a processor, think of cores as individual computers.
Some processors have multiple cores or single computers.
If a workload can be divided up so as to run on several individual computers at once then a multiple core processor is good.
Some workloads can really only do one thing at a time, so many underlying cores/computers are not much help.
For those workloads, it is more important that the single working core be fast.
Reality is that workloads are mixed.
A more technical analysis can be found in "amdahls law"
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amdahl%27s_law

Some cores can do the work of two by using residual resources to dispatch a second thread.
I5 processors do not have that capability while I7 processors will double the number of threads(called hyperthreading.

If you are referring to graphics, CORES applies to underlying simple processing entities. For nvidia, they are called CUDA cores. The more the better, allowing the graphics card to process more picture elements which can be done nicely in parallel.
In the case of a GTX1060, the 6gb version had more CUDA cores in addition to the 3gb more vram.

Okay. So guys I think to get GTX 1060 6GB and i5-8400. Is this ok?

 

[vapour]

good choice, stock cooler will be enough for 8400.

 

[blackrockmountain]

Okay. Thanks to everybody for helping me
