Upgrading from a GTX 970 to a 1080.
The rest of the system specs are below:
Intel i5-6500
GIGABYTE G1 Gaming GA-Z170X
EVGA SuperNOVA 650 P2
CORSAIR Vengeance LPX 16GB 3000
Samsung 850 EVO 500GB
MSI GeForce GTX 970 GAMING 4G
My question is, do I NEED a CPU upgrade. An i7 isn't COMPLETELY out of the budget. But with a monitor upgrade and a new GPU, it'd be tight. So, I'm curious if I can hold off for now on the i7 and run Destiny 2 (really the only "intense" game i'll play... rocket league, LOL and POE being my other titles) at 4K at a reasonable frame rate. I don't need OMG ULTRA 4K LOCKED 60FPS. But at a consistent playable frame rate?
I've watched videos, I've checked benchmarks, but I wanted to come here and see if anyone had beta experience with a similar setup.
