Upgrades, - Will this bottleneck?

Hi all,

Quick question, I'm pricing up a new PCS system for next spring. - Most likely an AMD system, either this gen Ryzen or next and probably with AMD's next line up of AMD GPU's. - Whenever that is of course.
I only play at 1080P at the moment but my current PC (see signature) is struggling with recent games. - Kingdom come deliverance, tomb raider, total war Britannia, dying light - quite old lol.
I'm looking to get a RX 580 to tide me over until I get the new system.
So I'm wondering my CPU I7 2600 will be a bottleneck? I got the system from PCS in 2011/12 so its done pretty well to last this long and I've had no problems whatsoever. If I could make it last a bit longer with a new GPU that would be ideal.

thanks for any advice.

At 1080p in most games, not at all.

These are generally benched with a GTX 1080 ti or that kind of thing. At 1080p, 60hz, with an RX 580 or GTX 1060, you're going to get a very similar experience to what you'd get with an 8700k + fast DDR4.

In a few titles that are very demanding on CPU performance you may see some lower drops to FPS (FO4, Watch Dogs 2) but these titles are few and far between and it will still be a much better experience than your 680 SLI in the main, I should think.

So yeah, your system is more than fine for an RX 580.

Hi.

Thanks for the reply. Just what I needed to hear
