Which CPU should I pick with the GPU, GTX 1070

[TamerPC]

Hello,

Currently i'm using a i3-4130 that with a gtx 1070.
You guessed it ""Bottleneck" ..

I wanted some help to get that GPU to 100% most of the time.
Could you guys help me?

I want a new CPU that can handle it mostly on 1080p. My budget is arround 250-300 euro's.

(Also.. Yes I know that if I just keep playing 4k there is no bottleneck) To be honest I like the fps more then the resolution..

It would be amazing if I could get some help!

Is that 1080p 60Hz or 144Hz?

If you have a Z170 board then for 60Hz a 6600k is perfect but for 144Hz Id go 6700k. Otherwise without a Z board its 6600 or 6700

What board are you running?

60hz Also I have no Lga 1151 socket motherboard and that would add up to +100 euro's with ram +70 euro's thats not going to work for me. also the processor being 220 euro's or something like that and the 6700k = 330 euro's

The 6600k would give you 4 physical cores and is a solid upgrade. You can go 6700k but there isn't a huge gap between it and the 6700k (for gaming purposes only). What motherboard are you using? You might have to buy a new one...


Edit: Just saw that you needed a motherboard as well. A 6600k will be over budget

There can be material gains in modern games with a 6700k if going for high fps for a 144Hz monitor. For 60Hz/FPS there is no real gain.

Have you considered upgrading to an i7-3770? Since you can't get the 6XXX series CPU's I think that's your best bet for a significant performance increase and less of a dent in your wallet.

Edit: I too am a fan of the "blabla" series SSDs. 😀

Just make sure you check its compatibility with your 1155 board. Both of the LGA 1155s I own say they can only take 2nd and 3rd Gen CPUs.

I have a socket lga 1150 board.

Then you should be fine.

Bummer. Have you looked at any 4690s? I think the i5's are just as useful. i7's are great, don't get me wrong, but most people don't really need one.
