GTX 1080, Will My System Bottleneck?

luca1059 · Jun 22, 2016

Overclocking 4670k
GTX 1080 Asus Rog Strix
Corsair Vengeance DDR4 3000MHz 16GB
BenQ 24" LED XL2430T
Corsair CX650 Power supply
(B85 or z87-pro) Mobo
250 GB SSD Kingston
Will this bottleneck the 1080?

Thanks in advance :*

The RAM is not compatible with the rest of the system.

Do you own ANY of these parts already? I recommend a lot of changes.

Tradesman1 · Jun 23, 2016

And that would be a massive bottleneck

Look for some DDR3 between 2400 and 2800 since you plan to OC the CPU and then No, there will be no bottlenecks

CTurbo :

Only own the 250gb ssd and 650 psu, what would you recommend? - I can buy the cpu and z87-a mobo cheap from a friend

I',m going to play WoW, CSGO, BF1 and some of the new games incoming.

Go for it

luca1059 · Jun 23, 2016

So if I OC the CPU, and use dual channel 2400+ RAM, would my PC not be bottlenecked and be very good for a long time in gaming?

Let us know how it turns out

luca1059 :

Depending on the price, 2400Mhz RAM is a bit overkill and not necessary. Dual channel 1866Mhz DDR3 would be fine.

Tradesman1 · Jun 23, 2016

2400 is priced right in line wit lower data rate sets, 2666 and up is where it starts to jump

pete_101 :

I'm confused, I got a a set of 2x4 gb 1600mhz corsair vengeance, is this enough/okay, or should I get over 2400? Not sure if I understand this right haha

luca1059 · Jun 23, 2016

And will my computer be futureproof?

Tradesman1 · Jun 23, 2016

Faster DRAM can provide better overall performance, 1600 is and has been entry level for a couple years now, with prices near same, might as well go 2400, I haven't used under 2133 in prob my last 50+ builds

CTurbo · Jun 23, 2016

I just want to point out that the i5 4670k at stock speeds and 1600mhz RAM would be perfectly fine with a GTX1080. No bottlenecks.

luca1059 · Jun 23, 2016

Thanks for the answers, I will try it out, fingers crossed X

Tradesman1 · Jun 23, 2016

True, though many apps and even games are benefiting performance wise from faster DRAM and it's an indication that upcoming newer games will employ DRAM more also

CTurbo · Jun 23, 2016

Of course I wasn't trying to say that faster RAM and cpu overclocking wouldn't help. I just didn't want the OP to think it was absolutely necessary.

luca1059 · Jun 23, 2016

What about
1080 strix
z170-a mobo
16gb vengeance
i5 6600k
BenQ 24 144hz

Would this be okay/good?

Tradesman1 · Jun 23, 2016

Sweet!

luca1059 · Jun 24, 2016

But soon Intel will be releasing new CPU's, should I wait and see (perhaps upgrade to that instead)?

Tradesman1 · Jun 24, 2016

It's all up to you

Each new line is a little faster, and a little more expensive, can wait and see how the new look and bench, it will alo be DDR4 so same as going Skylake will be needing CPU, mobo and DRAM

CTurbo · Jun 24, 2016

There is ALWAYS some new tech about to be released!!!!!!! haha

luca1059 · Jun 24, 2016

I am ready to spend big money on this, but I am not ready to sit back, and get annihilated by the new released gear haha :<
