Will i3 530 bottleneck Gtx 1060?

bestdave · Sep 11, 2016

i want to build a gaming computer for basic gaming and already own the i3, the question is, will it cause problems or bottleneck the gpu?

Motherboard - Asus H110M Pro
Ram - 2x4g Hyper x Fury
Gpu - Gtx 1060 OC
Cpu - Intel i3 530 (already own this one)
Psu - Antec VP-650PM 650 Watt Modular
Case - Antec GX505 Window Steel

problems - no.
i3 will be limiting the game performance.
if you can find an i5 that will work in your MB, it will solve this.

bestdave :

the i3 530 is a 1156 cpu

and thus not compatible with modern motherboards like that h110m pro which is 1151 based

sell it/return it and get an i3 6100 which is compatible with that h110

thanks, final question, how great is the differencecs between i5 6500 and i3 6100 in gaming?
and what do you think about this build?

the gaming difference between i3 and i5 is huge.
for example BF1 with i3 will have very hard time to hit over 40FPS avg with any GPU. i5 on the other hand can go way over 60FPS with decent GPU.
