will gtx 1080 fit with my specs?

[alridium]

So im thinking about buying a gtx 1080, but not sure if its too strong for my system. this is what im running:

i5 4590 3.3GHz (proccesor)
Gigabyte B85M-HD3 (mother board)
NVIDIA Gefore gtx 960 4GB (GPU)
16 GB ddr3 ram
600 W PSU

Currently im starting to looking into streaming as well, but for now will any of my components bottleneck the gtx 1080? if yea whats the recommended GPU for my setup?

Depends on resolution. For 1080p, that card is more then needed. But if you have 1440p monitor, gtx 1080 will suit you just fine.

^ almost.
for 1440p@144Hz the GTX 1080 is a good fit .
for anything below it, like 1440p@60Hz or 1080p@144Hz, GTX 1070 will be fine for years.

 

[Nithin Nanda]

sure this CPU wont bottleneck

 

[maxalge]

sure this CPU wont bottleneck

depends, on games like BF1 yes


since you want to stream an i7 is a good idea

i currently have a 1080p@60Hz monitor, but im looking into upgrading to a 1080p@144Hz and posibly a 1440p@144Hz sooner or later, jsut not possible for me atm

well i dont play bf1, tho i do play the witcher and will play more high end games in the future, graphics wise. if so, what i7 will you recomend for having for those kind of games while streaming / recording, possibly to go with a 1440p@144Hz monitor im looking into

 

[sizzling]

If aiming for high fps to utilise a high Hz monitor then your cpu will be an issue. There are games which will dip under 60fps let alone the 100fps plus you really want for a 144Hz monitor.

so yea, currently i have a 1080p@60hz monitor, but im looking into upgrading soon, to a 1080p@144hz and maybe a 1440p@144Hz, and people recommended me for an i7, but not a spesific model so id love for help with that

so ive heard xD, what cpu is rocommended for in the end get me high fps on games like bf1 and the witcher and possibly while streaming, cause right now i want to upgrade to the gtx 1080 a better monitor and so ill need a better cpu

the best i7 that is compatible with your mobo is a i7 4790(k)

ok good to know, thanks. sadly when me and my friends built my PC we accidently took this mobo, we wanted the D3H which i better i think, not sure. so if i were to switch a mobo aswell, what core will you recommend with a gtx 1080 to get high fps on on games like bf1 and demanding games like that while streaming?

i5 8600k or i7 8700k

and for those i need to change my mobo right? are they a big different so its worth the husle, or should i comprimise and get the 4790k with the 1080 and whne i can get a better monitor and be done with it? cause ive seen some videos and i see the 4790k + gtx 1080 can get over 90 fps on really high graphic games and thats while recording which means itll be about the same while streaming right? that seems like really solid chice, unless you think that one of those cores can get significant higher proformance? thanks so much for all the help btw

correct new mobo for either 8600 or 8700

the i7 4790k is basically a bit slower i7 7700k, still a great cpu, and wont hold back the 1080

well i think thats the winner then! i also checked into some other CPUs as well and saw some videos and compares of them and i think itll do a great job for me for the years to come! thanks for all the help ma man and have a nice day!

However, if you go for 8600k or 8700k, you will have to switch RAM too, as they only use DDR4 and you currently have DDR3.

i think my choice will be to upgrade to i7 4790k as soon as i can and be done with my setup for the next few years probably xD thanks for all the help tho
