Hi Everyone,

I've decided its time to upgrade my current setup so I've been buying parts when I can ( usually when I see a good deal) so my question is whats the best intel processor I can buy for my remaining budget of £250, ill need to buy 8gb of ram and a cooler with this too so its going to be tight.

bought core v1 itx case and gigabyte motherboard ga-z270n-wifi already.

thinking maybe I5 7400 or 7500, ideally I would like 7600k but I don't think I would benefit from it

all I want is something that wont bottleneck my 1060 6gb card.

Thanks for all your help

I see your point :/ yeah I could always return the board, problem is I need an ITX Build due to zero space in my house and they don't make many for amd. Is there much difference between 1600 and 1600x?
