Will the i5-2500k bottleneck a R9 Fury X

[Martynelius]

I've a big chance to win the R9 Fury X but will my processor the i5-2500k bottleneck with two 1080p resolution screens playing games like (not come out yet) Star Wars Battlefront and Star Citizen at high graphics. My motherboard is B75MA-P45. If yes then what should I get so it doesn't occur largely.

Its definitely an older cpu but its gonna do a great job of running the fury x

the 2500k is still very capable--especially overclocked

i still cant talk myself into upgrading my 4 and a half year old overclocked 2600k to a skylake 6600k as the 2600k still cuts it 4.5 years on

A 2500k is still within a few fps of the newest intel cpus on most games.
With an overclock, the 2500k is even faster than the new stock i5s in gaming

Star citizen is going to tax 99% percent of machines no matter what they have in them. Even if you won the FuryX, pushing it past 1080p would make you hit a wall at some point.
