Hi there. I know you are probably sick of getting these "will this CPU bottleneck this GPU" but I struggle to find someone that has the same situation as me here. Anyway, I am looking for a CPU which will barely be good enough to not bottleneck the GTX 1060 6gb without going above £150. I was going to get the i3 7100 but I reckon that will bottleneck it so I'm biting the bullet and going £30ish more expensive. Will it still bottleneck? I wanna play games at high-ultra anywhere from 1080p-1440p and 30-60fps. Can I expect these results? If not what is a decent processor that could get these results? Thanks a bunch.

minimum i5 7400


the 1060 is a great 1080p card


dont expect ultra at 1440p on many games beyond something like lol...

Thanks for the reply
Would I not get ultra 1080p 60fps on the i3 7300?

How about with the i5 7400? Would that enable medium-high 1440p at 30fps as well?

you can expect at least high settings no AA 1440p at 60 fps or better on most games
