Hi, I am planning to buy a GTX 980 but i found out it Will have a rougly 19/100 percentage (thebottlenecker.com) and i have 16GB ram, 1 SSD and Intel core i5 2500s (socket LGA1155) and i want to know if there is any core i5's for Socket LGA1155 that dosent bottleneck and does not require overclocking to prevent bottlenecking, but if there isn't any i5's that cant prevent bottlenecking you Can say an i7 instead or maybe a GTX 970 that is shorter than 300mm (highest 290mm) and a i5 or i7

Alright thanks

i checked on https://www.thebottlenecker.com and it says Bottleneck detected and its 14 so maybe i should go for a 1060 or 970 instead?

1060 results

i5 3570 11% (Bottleneck detected: Your CPU is too weak for this graphic card)

i5 3570k 11% (Bottleneck detected: Your CPU is too weak for this graphic card)

i5 2500s 14% (Bottleneck detected: Your CPU is too weak for this graphic card)

980 results

i5 3570 14% (Bottleneck detected: Your CPU is too weak for this graphic card)

i5 3570k 13% (Bottleneck detected: Your CPU is too weak for this graphic card)

i5 2500s 16% (Bottleneck detected: Your CPU is too weak for this graphic card)

970 results

i5 3570 11% (Bottleneck detected: Your CPU is too weak for this graphic card)

i5 3570k 10% (Bottleneck detected: Your CPU is too weak for this graphic card)

i5 2500s 14% (Bottleneck detected: Your CPU is too weak for this graphic card)

so i dont know if i should go for a i7 or stay with my 960

This is bs the i5 3570k doesn't even bottleneck the gtx 1080 on a CPU intensive game like the witcher 3:
