hey /g/.
Using an old i5-2310 I had scavenged from a prebuilt. Just upgraded to 16gb of ram and looking into getting a 1060. I'm only in 1920x1080 for gaming as well as editing.
How bad is my CPU going to bottleneck? Anyone know a good LGA 1155 processor that is still half decent for today?

cus the i5 2310 is locked it will bottleneck that gtx 1060. get a i5 2500k or i7 2600k for cheap and overclock as much as possible. u also need a z77 to be able to overclock.
>Anyone know a good LGA 1155 processor that is still half decent for today?
Apparently you've never heard of the i5 2500k

I haven't ever really had to look into processors before, and didn't have the money for one

oops mistake p67, z68 boards will also overclock.

I have a Asus p8z77-v LK that should allow me to OC right?
>>55783699
yup ur good. ive heard the 2500k can hit 4.8ghz on air and that should remove any noticeable bottleneck.
Don't get a 1060, it'll be dead in a year.

Alright thanks man, I'll see about picking one up.

Need a card to run Resolve too, don't think AMD supports it cause muh cuda cores.

>tfw i7 920 from 2008
>OC'd to 3.8 ghz and it it's till not going to ve heavily bottlenecking the rx480 once I get it
I'm gonna upgrade to the next heavily over clock able Processor that costs 250 bucks, probably in a few years

I'd save up the extra money for a 1070, which has major performance gains over the 1060.

Yea I'd like to but they retail for $600+ CAD and I start school again soon and need to pay ren
>>55783755
no worries. quick question, whats your ram speed?

got a deal on Patriot Viper 2x8gb 1600. Only paid $35. Was using 4x2gb 1333 from the same pc I scavenged the cpu from haha
