Is it a good idea to pair an i7 8700k with a Pascal Titan xp?

If yes then will there be any bottleneck?

Depends on the task - there's always a bottleneck....
Whether you'll notice it in 'real world' use-cases is what matters - and entirely depends on your use case.

Which GPU are you talking about specifically? The one unofficially called X(p) (GTX Titan X Pascal, or the 'official' Xp (no "GTX" just Titan Xp)?

Answer is the same, just curious.

There is no such thing as "bottlenecking"
If, by that, you mean that upgrading a cpu or graphics card can
somehow lower your performance or FPS.
A better term might be limiting factor.
That is where adding more cpu or gpu becomes increasingly
less effective.

Your question is moot.
The parts you proposed is as good as it gets today for a gamer.

I agree the term 'bottleneck' is overused, and not fully understood a lot of the time - but the term exists and is *technically* accurate.

a point of congestion or blockage, in particular

Asking "Limiting factor" doesn't change anything..... Still the same thing, by another term.


Agreed, for Gaming, you're not going to do any better today (in a single card setup). If the workload is anything other than, or in addition to gaming...... it may or may not be the "best" pairing (depends on use case), but it's definitely a "good" pairing.

That would be a really great build capable of high end gaming by today's standards, only thing that I find is not a good idea is the toll on your wallet.
