I've currently got a 1060 6GB with I3 8100 and I've upgraded the GPU to 2060S.
I'm wondering if the CPU is now going to end up being bottlenecked?
I was thinking of upgrading to I5 9600k but held of for now
Thoughts?
Thanks
I've looked at the KF version and for the bit extra seemed worth getting the K.
Never really looked into AMD always prefered Intel even with the higher costs....
Haha i love your Intel enthusiasmHigher costs, worse performance, worse security than a 1980's Vauxhall Nova all slapped together in a dead end platform. What's not to like right?

Fire up Task Manager on a separate monitor and check CPU usage when you game. If CPU usage is 100% then the CPU is bottlenecking you.
Which motherboard do you have? Check the compatibility before purchasing and make sure your BIOS is updated.

Thanks, keep that in mind, don't quite have the money to replace both CPU and Mobo atm, will see how thw CPU performing with new GPU firstThe k version is the same as the kf but with integrated graphics which you dont need with a dedicated gpu, I guess the bonus with the k if your gpu fails you can still use the PC but not really for gaming until you get a new gpu.
I personally would go with a b450 and ryzen 5 as it's an excellent CPU with plenty of upgrade options in the future.
Im currently using MSI A-Pro - i will have to test this tomorrow once the GPU is delivered. Hopefully all is good and no bottleneck, on average what would you say the CPU should operate at in game?
I mainly just play Destiny 2That depends upon the game.
I have an i3 6100 and an RX480. After a long bit of research and messing around, testing etc, i was able to work out that the i3 was slowing down everything. It's a dual core and pretty old by now. I think you'd do well to upgrade
Intel's touted "security" is really at this level:Haha i love your Intel enthusiasm
Awesome six core at time when in end of the year 8 cores/16 threads is completely mainstream courtesy of next-gen consoles.Yeah well the misses told me just to do it sp without questioning her i just ordered i5 9600k along with a new monitor and more RAM...
Agree compared to AMD prices are steep, and you correct i can't wait for the new Xbox to be released will be getting that too HahaAwesome six core at time when in end of the year 8 cores/16 threads is completely mainstream courtesy of next-gen consoles.
Intel turned PC Master Race into plain Cash Cow Race and hence consoles are catching up and will be the best thing to happen for PC gaming in long long time.
If Intel had its way we would be no doubt still paying £300 for four cores and with luck might get mighty six cores for like £500...
