So I am about to purchase a new CPU along with a new Motherboard, and I've ended up with the i5-7500, because it's the same price point as i5-6500 (so why would I buy the older model), and the FPS drop in games compared to an i7-7600 seems to be realtively low (compared to the price).
Right now I own a GTX 970, and from what I can gather the i5-7500 should have no issue with that card, but I probably will upgrade to a 1070 or 1080, or even buying another 970 in the near future, so could that create a bottleneck?
To sum up, I wanna know if I should go for the i7 instead of the i5, or if the i5 is plenty for the gtx 970 and the 1070/1080 or 2x gtx 970 sli
(should also be noted I play games in 1920x1080 right now, but might go for a higher resolution once I choose to make a GFX upgrade, this will obviously only happen if I go for a 1070 or 1080, but I like to keep my options open none the less)
Thanks in advance
