Need help CPU I5 2400k clocked at 3.10ghz

Solution
Bottlenecking is when one component limits the performance of other components. Your CPU will limit the performance of the GPU in certain CPU intensive games such as Battlefield 1 multiplayer.

It would only be a few games that would suffer from the CPU limiting the GTX 1060 3GB. It wouldn't be too bad.

The next best option is a GTX 1050 Ti. But it is significantly slower than the 1060. You would get better performance with the 1060 even if it bottlenecked some.

i7-2600 would be something you could upgrade to without switching RAM and motherboards. But I'd suggest using the i5-2400 + GTX 1060 3GB first, and then decide if you need to upgrade the CPU.

Sorry for not responding on time a little busy these days, i have a (Builder 500W Fully Wired Efficient Power Supply)
Its quite cheap, i was thinking of getting one from cooler master or something, if i was to get one how much watts would i need?
 


The quality of the power supply matters more than the watts. 500W is plenty, but if it's a crap power supply then a quality 450W would be better.

Cooler Master doesn't have very good units on the low end. Depending on your budget, all of these would be good.

To be clear, do you have the i5-2400 or the i5-2500K? There is no 2400K.
