Does my CPU need an upgrade?
Posted by GreenJKR@reddit | buildapc | View on Reddit | 3 comments
Hey all, I need some help picking some potential upgrades for my PC, my friend was selling a 5060ti 16gb GPU for a solid price so I snapped it up and left my 1660 super behind - the problem I now have is I’m not sure what to upgrade to stop it bottlenecking when playing things like marvel rivals or FIFA, I’m currently running:-
Intel i7-10700k
ASUS Prime Z490-V
32gb DDR4 RAM
Corsair TX705m
I only have 1080p monitors so just looking to stay at that for now and budget isn’t huge for upgrades so ideally want to stick to £300ish, any ideas would be great thanks!

That cpu is still great. Great pair for your new GPU. I'd only consider replacing it if you started playing a new game that was very cpu heavy and you weren't getting a great experience with it.

Chasing bottlenecks isn't a great way to enjoy your PC. Install the new GPU and then re-evaluate.

More than likely a 14600KF CPU and a B760 DDR4 board. You could go the normal K version, but it’ll add costs.
Not sure if you need a board with WiFi, but below could be an option:
You may need LGA1700 mounting hardware for your current CPU cooler, or you could get a new CPU Cooler like a Thermalright Peerless Assassin for £30.
