Hello community.
I have a i5 6600K 3.5Ghz (but not overclocked),
16 GB DDR4 RAM,
Asus Z170 Pro Gaming mainboard,
Radeon R9 390 Asus DirectCU III OC Strix Gaming 8GB Edition,
Asus 2K 144 Hz Freesync monitor,
750W PSU.
In Assassin's Creed Odyssey, I saw my system was getting insufficient for newest games. Most of settings are at high or medium but I get 20-30 FPS in wide city view screens at 2K.
So it seems my system is getting old and won't be enough after sometime for newest AAA games like Metro Exodus, Just Cause 4 etc.
My question is: Must I upgrade my CPU too if I buy 2080? Will it bottleneck my i5 6600K?
Or normal GTX 1080 is enough for 1-2 years more? Or must I also upgrade my CPU even if I buy 1080?
I'm not planning to play games at 4K (maybe few years later, but definetly not now). I will play at 2K at most.
Problem is if I buy 2080, there won't be enough money to buy sufficient CPU for 2080.
If I buy 1080, I may also buy a i7-8700 (or equivalent. But if there won't be a bottleneck, I prefer to avoid buying a CPU).
