[SOLVED] Regarding GTX 1070 and I7

[SeekoZaLegend]

Hi guys im going to build a pc and I bought almost everything and I picked i7 11700k however due to the prices of GPU im going to stick with my GTX 1070 .
My question is there going to be any bottleneck or anything dangerous that might affect the cpu or gpu or Im good to go ?

Most games are gpu dependent. Any CPU will usually do and your fps will be determined by your gpu. So for gaming it's really silly to have a high end cpu coupled with a low end gpu it should be the other way around. But, it's so hard time for gamers.

And yes, it will be bottleneck and no danger.

About all I would be concerned with is whether you picked out a strong enough motherboard and cpu cooler for that cpu.

No worries I will upgrade the GPU in the future
Still, I gain good performance and I can at least play battlefield.
My prev CPU was i5 7400.

Arctic Freezer 280 as a cooler ,
Z590 AORUS ELITE AX as motherboard

No arguments with that selection. 👌

i7-11700K and GTX1070 are a reasonable combination.
Some games will be cpu limited, and some will be graphics limited.
A huge jump over a I5-7400.
When you get the 11700k, run this simple test:
Run YOUR games, but lower your resolution and eye candy.
This makes the graphics card loaf a bit.
If your FPS increases, it indicates that your cpu is strong enough to drive a better graphics configuration.
If your FPS stays the same, those games are likely more cpu limited.


Are you aware that aio coolers do not last forever?
In time, air enters through the cooling tubes and the unit must be replaced.

If you have a good case, a Noctua NH-D15/s will cool equally well
Under a simple cpu-z stress test, I only reach 72c.

Yes but they last for a good period of time . for at least 5 to 8 years as people say . Also, I will not be overclocking anything or forcing anything heavy for now.
