I think this is decent enough hardware so that it doesn't require overclocking (which is something I'm trying to avoid as people claim it can be hell on a computer's lifespan) for great performance. I'm going for 4k 60-90fps quality, would that require overclocking?
>doesn't want to overclock
>buys a K CPU
And no, you won't be able to get that framerate with a single GPU at 4k.

Next time give us a pcpartpicker link ffs.
Anyways, it's pretty impressive, but it will get around 40-50 FPS at 4k in most demanding titles. You can get 60-90 fps by turning down some settings. For true overkill you'd need i7 and SLI'd 1080s (tho at this point the best course of action is to wait for 1080Ti)

Okay but I've heard that overkill isn't what you want to go for.
>I think this is decent enough hardware so that it doesn't require overclocking
then don't get a CPU built for that
> 4k 60-90fps
not happening

that's only 1080p, why are you talking about 4k?

those are such garbage, why even bother
>>160387
overkill is good. get the i7
it'll be pretty future proof for a few years.
