Myself and a bunch of my buddies all built rigs at the same time; 2011 when the i7-2600K was all the rage. The PC has been solid since then. The specs are in the sig but other than maybe some more Ram, it's held up with everything...
After getting married, buying a house, having a kid...I transitioned from PC gaming to console gaming just due to cost. However, with some newer titles coming out (Doom, BF1, etc) I'm contemplating on what it would take to get back in the game on the PC end.
With that said, I have:
i7-2600K @ 4.2
Asus P8P67-Pro
8GB Ram
256GB Samsung Pro SSD
750W PCP&C PSU (way back in the day!)
If I was to buy a card such as the GTX 970 or GTX 1070 when released...how much am I bottlenecking it due to the CPU? I currently game at 1080p. No desire for 4k anytime soon...maybe a new monitor at 1440p but that would be a while...
Thanks!
