Im upgrading from my older rig which was :-
Windforce gtx 970 G1
8gb ddr3 crucial ram
fx 8320 Black edition

i used to play the new title games mostly at ultra settings @1080p, as im upgrading i want to play ultra @4k for all the new games such as battlefield 1.

The problem is that my budget is tight and would want to know that if im going for ( Core i5 6400 ) or te ( Core i5 6042p ) with the Nvidia gtx 1080 is that gonna do it ? or if i get the ( Core i7 6700 ) with the Gtx 1070 ?
Do i need a more powerfull processor for 4k or the i5 is gonna do it ?
Thanks.
 
Solution
The i5 6400 should work well with the 1080, but I'd go with the i5/i6 6600 (k). The processor you won't have to worry about in 4k, just the GPU.
