Make sure you at least overclock it a bit and YOU'LL BE FINE.

>>58910692

>OC that shit til 4.5Ghz

anon pls mine can't oc more than 4.4ghz at 1.46v and even at 4.3ghz it's bottlenecking hard gtx 1060

>>58910692
yes

Truth is every CPU will bottleneck it because Intel and AMD a shit

But there's no reason to buy another CPU

Get a GTX 1070

>>58910692
Given how you only have an i5-2500K I will assume that you will play in 1080p, in case the GTX 1080 will get cucked hard by that weak-ass i5. Just buy a 1070 and be happy that you saved some $$$.

>>58910692
If you don't go past 1080p, no.

...backwards thinking? The higher the res, the lower the load is on the CPU.

>>58912619
Because?
