So i bought a new GPU (Sapphire Radeon R9 380) This week. But i found out that my CPU is bottleneck when I play GTA V.

So my question is which intel processor should i upgrade to?
Price is a factor ofc, but i want to get the best processor for my GPU.
I´m contemplating on upgrading my monitor too 3440x1440. If you guys can take that into consideration too.
Im not streaming so this is strictly for gaming.


Games i play:
GTA V
League Of Legends
CS GO
Titanfall

My Specs:
M4AGTD PRO/USB3 - MOBO
AMD Phenom X6 1090T BE (OC 3850mhz) - CPU
Sapphire Radeon R9 380 - GPU
Kingston HyperX 16GB, 1600mhz - RAM
Samsung 850 EVO 500GB - SSD

200MHz more than i5-4590, same frequency as i5-4690k.
Generally I wouldn't suggest going with the newest stuff since there aren't a lot of benchmarks out there. Plus it's the same i5 generation, so there aren't a lot of improvements from one to another, and the 2 processors I listed are verified as very good gaming processors (in fact, best for the money).

Improving to a newer i5 won't give you almost any advantage (FPS) while gaming.

So I would stick to one of said 2 :)

What about the new 6600K skylake? 60-70$ more expensive
