New Gaming PC required ideas please

i dont think you need a particularly pokey cpu for gaming, or at least you never used to.

gpu it to the max.

Yep that's my thought hence the GTX970 I can't realy push that any higher or it might look odd in the accounts :-)
 
Alot of the newer games are getting CPU hungry so it depends on what your playing
 
fairy muff. 4th gen i5 should be ok either way.

The mobo I am looking at can upgrade to full i7 if I wanted just not skylake but that could be years away
 
Give me a few hours and I will tell you what my i5 4690 and gtx970 performs in Star Wars Battlefront.

I got mine from Cyberpower :)
 
I can play Star Wars Battlefront on Ultra with no issues at 2560 X 1440 :)

I have that cpu with on chip water cooling and it's a beast, although it runs a Lightroom catalogue rather than 3D gaming!
