Hi guys.

So I bought me a shiny new GTX 1080 MSI gaming X 8GB GPU.

Im still running my older i7-3770K @ 4.60Ghz.

At what point will my CPU become the limiting factor in my gaming?

I read all the VR specs (not that I'm there yet, but thinking ahead) that you need i7 chip minimum, so i presume my i7 is still good for a couple years yet?

Also got 16gb DDR3 RAM, so that's not too bad either I guess.
 
Good point.

Is there anything that will fit the same socket (1155, I think) that would offer significant boost in performance?
