My Z97 Mobo and GTX 970 dies recently at the same time
Im currently not in a position to spend on both things new immediately
Im getting a decent deal on a used GTX 1080
Z97 motherboards are out of stock everywhere
However H81 motherboards are available on the cheap
I was thinking of continuing to use my i5 4690 (even though its a 4690k however since i will be using it with an H81 mobo so i wont be able to overclock)
I can get the GTX 1080 now and wait to upgrade my CPU till early next year( intel 10th gen desktop CPUs are expected till then)
Is this a good idea?
Will the 4690 bottleneck my 1080? If so how much?
